Great timing Dave. Just got the call that my front wheel seal are in and it looks like your working on a Ford as well. Thanks for the lead on the throttle rod a few weeks ago. And look, two of the best tractor wrenchers on the web in the comment section at the same time - Dave and Bundy Bear.
How good is that I am doing a wheel bearing one myself in the next week or so. I always like to see how others do it I learn a lot that way. I put a heap of grease in my hand and scrape the bearings through it and fill the bearing that way.
That's how I was taught as well, I find I can get as much grease in the bearing and have less mess on my hand with my method though.:) Have a good one BB!
I have a slight problem. The spindle broke and I got a new one for $300 but the vertical shaft of the spindle won’t come out of the housing. The nut on the top of the shaft came off easily so I hit the shaft hoping it would fall out of the housing. No such luck. What is the secret?
What model tractor? Some have a key to index the steering arm that will need to be removed (they jam) and some have a lock ring that holds the spindle in the knee. Thanks for watching!
That would be something that someone has added, normally there are no grease zerks on the hubs, but it wouldn't hurt to give them a couple of pumps every time you grease the ractor. Thanks for watching!
Never packed bearings like that before. Always done like Lance "bundy bear shed" described. But i'm sure there will be no issues the way you are doing it, it's not a racecar!

I am happy to be of help! It is quite an honor to be considered in the same class as Bundy Bear, thank you!

I have a International Harvester b414 that has grease nipples on the front hub and I was wondering how much grease should I pump into it
That would be something that someone has added, normally there are no grease zerks on the hubs, but it wouldn't hurt to give them a couple of pumps every time you grease the ractor. Thanks for watching!

LOL, that's true, tractors don't tend to be speed demons. Thanks for watching!
Thank you!

@@CanadianRedneck15 I have a Ford 4000, I do appreciate the help very much!
i would press the seal into the hub then put the hub on the spindle.
Except this seal has the steel ring in the center and the rubber lip is on the outside and the hub rotates around it.
Thanks for watching!
