B20 rear axle seal leak

[Walt]

Did a search and have not found much on my model B20. Got a leak on the left rear axle and hoping to find out what I am in for. Any experience with this would be appreciated, regards Walt

Looks like a trip to our local dealer for some info....appears to be a bit of a project..

The fix part is super easy.

The removing all the supports is the tough part.

You have to remove everything to get the case unbolted then pop the seal in and put it all back together!

I would recommend giving the whole tractor a good power wash bath before you start, the cleaner the better.

You'll need to remove the loader and the BH and the ROPs just for starters.

Thank you Sir.

Ordered a B20 Kubota repair manual today. Am going to tackle this myself and figure it out as I go. Any suggestions appreciated. The FEL is not a quick attach.

Sounds like a good plan:

If you run into anything along the way, just ask, quite a few of us can help out.

Take a ton of digital pictures before and after you take a part off. You may forget how to get it back together if it takes you a few days or weeks to get it completed. The pictures will help figure it out if you have trouble which is unlikely

I will take reference pix, my only worries after looking it over is removing the fel. Looks like the sub frame needs to drop down towards the rear to clear the axle housing. I'm working alone so hopefully a floor jack can muster it back in place.

FEL, The right brace that supports the vertical side frame has 2 pins welded to the support (inside). It also has R pins in them. My manual has no reference to what these are for. I am using a phone and unable to post pix. Anyone know what these pins are for? Regards walt

Got it, top link storage for the 3 point. Lol

Hello guys,
I’m bringing that thread back to life;
I have a rear axel seal leak on my 1994 B20. Dealer says I need to drop the subframe in order to be able to remove the rear wheel hub. Is it really the case ?
Any suggestions?

Yes 100% right

Suggest you have a good shop and good tools.

Thanks! Is there a way we could try to pop out the seal so we can try to grease it and re-seat it ?
