removing rear axle
Need to replace rear axle seals on 59 powermajor. To remove the axle can i just split it at the half axle and take apart?Someone told me that i need to remove the hydrolic top cover and loosen some nuts there first. Could anyone walk me through the proper proceedure as i'm a novice and don't want to remove anything unnessarily?Thanks.

rear axle seal
Yeah, thats exactly what i was looking for.thanks! Also i am going to replace the PTO back seal. Should i do this when the top cover is off or can i do this via the back housing.Great tractor but just leaks constantly.
to change the back axle seal, you have to get the bearing off the shaft, and that's a bit of a job. You need a good sized hammer or a puller or something.
As for the PTO seal, you can do that any time. Just if you want to do it while the back end is full of oil you should drive so the back end is up in the air. That way it shouldn't leak everywhere when you pull the shaft out. The PTO seal is a bit fiddly also.
