oliver 77 rear axle seal replacement

[jim_uny]

am not sure from agcoparts diagram of rear axle, if there is an end cap screw to hold axle against bearings ? does one have to remove platform cover to get at it so axle can be backed out and a new axle seal installed. thanks

Jim, The seal is in the bearing retainer. remove the wheel and the hub, then take out the six cap screws and remove the retainer with the seal in it. Before you loosen the retainer see if the axle moves up and down, if it does you may be able to remove a shim or 2 to eliminate the movement, don't get it too tight!!. You will have to clean the axle real good so you don't damage the seal during installation. I always remove all the paint before I slide the new seal on. Chuck

Chuck gave you some nice directions. When you put the seal and cap back on, I just put a little dish soap on the axle to make it go on easier. Good Luck
