According to my service manual, it looks pretty straightforward. The inner bearing takes all the thrust load and the outer one supports the axle. If it is just real stiff (you can turn it without fear of breaking anything) try turning it several revolutions in both directions and see if it gets better. Lube it with gear oil before you do that. Might just need to seat the bearings. BTW, did you find it difficult to find seals for it? I may decide to do that job also, as long as I have most of the rest of the tractor tore apart for painting.
