Super C Axle Gasket Replacement

I have a leak that appears to be coming from the left axle gasket ( part number 351 113 R1 ).I have never attempted a repair of this nature so would like to know what I'm getting into.Do you have to pull the operating platform and slide the axle out of the bull gear or could you pull the axle out a bit , cut the top of the new gasket and install it with gasket compound and then slid the axle back in without needing to get into the rearend? Thanks
 
I never did one on that tractor but if you look at the diagrams it will help you see what you are getting into and how the parts go together.
On the first page click the red "Right Here" and on the next page on the top left enter super c were it says model.
Good luck with your job.

yes you are correct, it is a real pain of a job. There are actually two seals in each axle carrier that should be replaced as well when your in there. But yes the top platform has to come off and pull the axle from the bull.

If your only concern is to stop the oil from leaking between the rear axle housing and the rear frame you can support the rear frame and slide the axle housing out about an inch. Use a couple of guide pins or longer bolts to keep the axle housing aligned. That is as far as it will go without removing the bull gear from the axle. clean the axle housing and rear frame and use a bead of RTV silicone sealer in place of the gasket. The castings must not have any oil on them for the silicone to seal.

The correct way would be to remove the axle and housing so that the inner seal can be replaced. If you remove the PTO it is possible to remove the bull gear retainer from the inside end of the axle through that opening. It is not too bad to do if you have the original style axles. Replacement axles used a snap ring instead of two bolts so they can be a bit more difficult.
 
I assume if the seal was leaking oil would seep out at the end of the axle casting where the wheel is. My leak is at the rearend casting.
 
The inner seal keeps the oil out of the axle housing. There is not supposed to be any oil in it. The seal at the end of the housing is a grease seal. You need to replace the inner seal and the housing flange gasket.
