Rusty - - Umm, I don't think it's possible for a rear tire to leak hydraulic fluid.....

I do see you have a B2920...

Better description and pictures will help.

You either have:

(1) a rear axle seal leaking hydraulic fluid onto the tire, or

(2) a tire leaking whatever fluid has been used to fill the tire for weight (we call that "ballast"). That's not normally hydraulic fluid. It's often Calcium fluid, beet juice (Rimguard), or windshield washer fluid.

More info would be helpful.

You have to remove the ROPS, then the axle housing, and disassemble the axle. See PDF below.

Rusty - if you look just above your last message, there is another from member whitetiger. He has details on what needs to come apart, and a parts diagram of the axle area your working on.

I have not done this repair on a Kubota tractor, but I'm sure whitetiger has done many.

Like I suggested in a couple other threads you posted on, a workshop manual (WSM) for your tractor will probably help you greatly in doing the repair.
