B5100 leaking oil fast axel pin

[Twright22]

Just want to make sure the diagnosis is close. Oil is squirting out middle of the front axel at the bottom of the pin that holds the axel to the chassis. Is this a broken seal and what would the typical cost be for a fix. Live in newberg Oregon and mechanics are scarce.

thanks!

I can send a video if someone wants to see as well.

In each end of the front axle case there are 2 orings (3 and 20 on diagram) and a bushing in between them (2 on diagram). You may or may not need to replace the bushings depending on how much wear there is on them and the pin. Bad part is you have to drop the frame to get the pin out. If your mechanically inclined you can do it.

I am really good at taking things a part but not so great putting them back Thank you for the help! I am working on getting a mech out here, hopefully the repair wont cost more than the tractor, I love it, it is a great machine. Thank you again!

In order to get the axle pivot pin out on the model, it requires removing the front frame from the engine.

Are you sure it is not the oil pan leaking ?

So i took everything a part this morning. The bushings look good, O rings look good, the center pin looks alright too. Thing is, I only saw one O ring on each side, number 3 O ring wasn't on neither side. There weren't any grooves either for an O ring to slide in, if I pushed the pin through they would just fall into the axel. I cleaned it all out, thought maybe tightening everything up would help, I put it all back together but I am getting a small leak now vs gush. Could it be the Center Pin itself? I spoke with a dealer, its discontinued, they said even if they work on it, I would be screwed if they cant get the center pin.

Thoughts on the two missing O rings? Thanks!

2 O-rings are on the inside of the bushings, and 2 O-rings are on the outside.

Gushing ? From the axel? Where's this video I gotta see it now!
