Re: Front axle seals

I will have to check that the next time I am operating the girl. Not sure if I tried that or not.../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif First I had to replace the light switch assembly because the headlights wouldn't work either then when you cycled the switch there was a spot where they would come on for a second then right back off. When I replaced it they were weather pretty good but that just fixed the headlights and not the hazards. To be honest now that I'm thinking of it----Is there brake lights?? I am trying to picture that and right now can't remember. Huh?

Re: Front axle seals

Not sure on the L35, but the B21 flashers work without the head lights on and there are no brake lights.

Kubmech,

Is this axle seal situation only with the L35's or is it pretty much universal across the 'bota line?

On the 3710 the flashers work even if the engine is off, but the headlights will only go on when the key is turned on.

Interesting question about brake lights: I spend so much time with the brakes locked, that it would be odd for a brake light to come on. Bet they just are taillights.

Re: Front axle seals

Mostly L's and the newer B's. If your running solid filled tires it multiplies the problem.

Re: Front axle seals

Joe, I can't believe nobody else chimed in on this one. The combination switch to the left of the steering wheel is for youre lights, the lever is for the turn signals, down, left flash/right steady, up right flash/left steady. If you want your hazards, try the red button to the right of the steering wheel.

Re: Front axle seals

Any idea on how new is too new on the B series? An older B might avoid the problem?

Re: Front axle seals

Newer B's being above B7200. Mostly landscaper and rental units on the B's.

Re: Front axle seals

Kubmech,

Is there a maintenance routine that can extend the life of the seals? Or is this pretty much a case of: "They're gone when they're gone."

Re: Front axle seals

Other than keeping that area clean and avoiding solid filled or weighted front wheels if possible, I really can't suggest anything else.
