Oil & Fuel L3710 frontend oil leak

[JJT]

Hi Guys, It looks like the knuckle joint on my front end is leaking oil. I just topped it off and it took 2 quarts. How much work is it to get this rebuilt? What kind of seal does this have? Does this repair require any special tools? I'm fairly handy and have air tools. I hate to tear it down now, I'm in the middle of tiller season. I've always run super UDT in the front end, will I buy some time if I swap in 80/90w gear lube? I only have 600 hours on the machine and this is the first break down. Thanks in advance, JT

Sorry guys, I got lazy and posted before I did a search. There's a great how to in the archives. I picked up the seals today, ($86 for 1 side). I will till a few gardens tomorrow and tear into things after work this week.
