Anyone have any info on replacing the front diff axle seals on a 2305? I am looking for the parts that need to (or should be) replaced. I assume it is just a seal and I have seen a video on Youtube for a 2210 which looks like it could be close to a 2305. Did a search but nothing came up. TIA.

Thanks. Yes I have actually looked at it prior and spoke with my local JD parts guy. What I am curious about is what is worn to cause the leak (both sides are leaking). Is it just a seal? Or, a seal and a bearing? For those who may have done this repair, what did they replace?

Not sure if still relevant but I've done this repair on my 2305. Also thought it may have been bearings - but no. Just the seals got stiff with age. After removing the old ones and comparing to the new ones - the old felt like hard plastic, compared to soft / pliable rubber for the new ones. Replaced them. No more leaks.
