Description
When you’re seeing gear oil spots under your tractor or hearing that grinding noise from the rear end, there’s a good chance your half shaft outer seal has given up. This critical seal sits between your final drive housing and the half shaft, keeping expensive gear oil where it belongs while stopping dirt and water from destroying your planetary gears. It’s not the most glamorous part on your tractor, but when it fails, you’ll know it.
What You’re Getting
- Precise 119mm outer diameter x 87mm inner diameter fit for a leak-proof seal
- 12.5mm width provides proper sealing surface without excessive bulk
- Heavy-duty rubber compound that handles gear oil pressure and temperature swings
- Double-lip design keeps contaminants out while holding oil in
- Direct replacement – no modifications needed, just remove the old and install the new
Built for Real Farm Work
This seal fits a wide range of John Deere tractors from the utility 5000 series up through the row-crop 6000 and 6010 models. Whether you’re running a 5400 with a loader doing daily chores, a 6200 pulling a planter across hundreds of acres, or a 6410 handling heavy tillage work, these tractors all depend on proper final drive sealing to keep working season after season.
Made to Last
Farm work is tough on seals – constant vibration, temperature changes from hot summer days to cold winter mornings, and the inevitable encounters with rocks and stumps. This seal uses compounds specifically designed to resist gear oil breakdown while maintaining flexibility in temperature extremes. The metal case ensures it stays put in the housing even when things get rough.
Good to Know
Replacing this seal requires removing the wheel and hub, so it’s a good time to check your wheel bearings and inspect the half shaft for wear. Clean the seal bore thoroughly before installation – any dirt or old sealant will cause the new seal to leak. A light coat of gear oil on the seal lips helps with installation and initial break-in. If you’ve been losing oil for a while, check your gear oil level and top off as needed.
