- I have been reading on the chat rooms where some are having issues with pressure building up in their front axles and blowing the wheel seals. Here the way that I made my front axle vent, and you can make one as well.
Great video, I will do doing mine for my 1025r soon. Thank you
Don’t wear your gloves around machinery
Totally agree
When tapping the bolt, I have used 1-1-1 Trichloroethane (Tap Magic) cutting fluid and found it better than cutting oil at easing the tap into the hole. I appreciate you posting the video. Found out about overpressure on my front axle of my 2003 John Deere 790 the hard way. Seal blew out and I started trying to find the source of the leak. While watching RUclips videos on the teardown and rebuild of the front axle and MFWD drive finals, I came across your video. Will definitely do this to my Deere when assembly is completed on the final drive and axle seals. Thanks again for posting.
@@winfordnettles3292 I was a toolroom machinist for years, i prefer cutting oil. Tap magic smell is not pleasant to me and stays in your clothes, it more costly than a good old cutting oil. Good luck with your seals.
You need to use some food grade silicon.... You know what kind.
nice job
Thanks!
Don't forget to tell people the thousand$$ of dollars you have invested in shop and tools....
Jerry, not really. That is why I show a way a person can make them at home. This project could be done with a hand drill, hack saw, file if needed. The drill press was a hand down from wife's grandfather, the small vice was one of my dad's, the belt sander was scrap from work that I rebuilt, the right angle grinder, taps, and drill bits I purchased. Where are the thousands of dollars? Keep in mind I am a machinist, project manager (at sheet metal manufacturing company), mechanic retired. It was my job to figure out the cheapest and fastest way to repair/rebuild/manufacture things. Thanks for the reply.
