iseki rear axle seals????

[usmcwalter]

does anyone know how i can pull out the rear LH axle shaft from the tractor. i have all the bolts off and the cover is loose but wont pull out. i need to replace the outer axle seal. the local shop wants $800.00 to do it for me. i AM mechanical inclined to do this. oh its a iseki TS1610 model. was told its the same as a bolens G194!!
thanks walter

On the TS1610 looks like the axle shaft passes through a gear inside the tractor. On inner side of the gear there is a nut on the end of the axle that holds the shaft in place onto the gear. So you will need to get deep into the housing under the seat. I can post more later.

Attached views from my tractor manual show the rear axle.

Re: TS1610 Re: iseki rear axle seals????

awesome. thank you . yes i had to tare everything apart, but im glad i did, the oil was very milky. i drained everything, and filled it with parts cleaner to sit for a few days. now if those $98 seals would finally show up, i can put it back together. you wouldnt know where i can get gaskets for this do you.
thanks again rich_ncal

For a gasket look the the thread " Bolens G154 / Iseki tx1300f", post #123. He cut a gasket from a roll of gasket material.

Can anybody please help me in my ordeal to locate the simmering for the rear axle of an Iseki TG 23?
It might have the article number BQ 5258 E. The dimensions are 59x89x25.
Where in the world can I buy a couple of those?

Hello, I tried to get OEM gaskets for my tractor and found an online parts supplier who
told me that they could get any gasket I needed so I ordered 4 just in case
I screwed one up. After waiting many many weeks they told me that they
could not get those gaskets. I did some research and found out that the
gaskets I needed were called compressed gaskets. I was able to find out
the thickness and found a place here in New Jersey that sold the gasket
material I needed and this material was now asbestos free. You need the correct
thickness gasket material so when assembled the end play of any of the shafts
is correct. When the material is compressed from the start it stays at that
thickness but also seals like a gasket should. I still have at lest 8 feet
by 4 foot wide roll of gasket material so where are you and if you want
I can send you what you need to make your gaskets, free.
If you are interested send me a PM. Or not.

Are you sure you have the correct measurement? I'd suspect they are 60x90x25. W can supply seal.

My second post to the forum. I have a Bolens G154 that had a slow drip on the right rear axle. Replacing the seal turned it into a faster drip, so I bit the bullet and pulled the axle assembly. Now I have questions like what to use to pull the inner bearing after removing the circlip, and what exactly is the gasket thickness? FXRS55 had some gasket material, but I’m willing to purchase it to get the tractor back together. Can anyone help the new guy?
