How To Change A Wheel Seal On A 3720 John Deere

![]() Bailiwick: JD MFWD axle seal leaks??? |
West Central Iowa
Information technology seems as nosotros are seeing an excessive amount of failure of the outer axle shaft seal (current Deere # RE208256) on the Deere built MFWD axle as used in the very late l, 55, lx and 8000 serial tractors. This is the seal that is used with the retrofit seal kit. The seal that leaks is the bellows style seal that sits to outside of the u-joint and seals the axle drive shaft/u-joint where it comes out of the planetary hub. The failure is ever a torn bellows on the seal. We are using the correct JD seal installation tool, along with the process spelled out in the seal kit installation manual. We call back JD has a problem with this seal, equally they have inverse the part number numerous times in the last 5 years and our local dealer always has a lot of these seals in stock.Anyone else seeing this same problem and accept any thoughts on this?
Thank you!

Our dealer recommended an hr or more at less than v mph. One thing that will forever aid seal life is if it is extremely hot...like 90 degrees or more, keep the speed down to 15 mph or so. You lot get a 95-100 degree day and wind it up to 20+ mph and y'all're certain to have oil within one of the wheels. We haven't had a lot of trouble, but don't do much roading either. Only have the 4255 with that style front end end now. 7520 has been trouble free at 5k hours.
