I figured, so I stopped to ask. Pretty poor that the manuals make no mention of it. I just glued it this AM, so I'll be ready to work this evening. Thanks for the tip! Yes, I'm replacing the bull pinion seals and I have a drawer full of mikes, so I'll check the beaing preload according to the manual. The bearings look perfect. All the seals and o-rings were hard and dry and look like they had been puking for a long while. The discs were pretty close to new thickness but very oil soaked.I decided to reseal the diff lock too. None of the hard parts were damaged or worn, but the seals were very brittle. I found that the oil line to the unit had been blocked. I have a lot of grass and stubble in the field right now, so having he diff lock working will be a help. One comment I have is that the manual reprints I got (and paid a heck of a lot for) are only about 80 percent applicable to my tractor. What's worse, I even called to makes sure I got the right books because they didn't say "826" anywhere on them. What I did get was assurances that they were fine. Some of my manuals are for 806s and while those are similar tractors, I see a lot of differences. This is something I just discovered and, of course, they won't take them back a year later. I'm not happy and that place won't get any of my money again. Fortunately, I had an I&T manual for backup, but they lack a lot of detail too. Happily, its not brain surgery. Thanks again for the tips!
