hello, i just put grease in the ball bearings, all new springs and throw out bearings and tubes in my 420. i was going to button it all back up when i read on here about seals being behind the quill, what holds the quill in after unbolting it? and what keeps gear oil from the rearend from leaking by the quill? does the quills have big o rings around them? thanks ,,Eric

I have the original style AM1717T seals for $10 each if you want. The ones Deere sends now are not shielded, you need to be more careful when putting the quill back on not to roll the seal if you use them.

Eric,
I have so little most of the time, I have to keep all I have!

Eric , I have been working on several other projects , I bought a lathe so I could repair the drive axles seal surface and that has been a slow job . I am ordering parts slowly for it . Once the other projects are done then I can get restarted on the crawler again .
I have also made several drivers for various seals and bushings . Having the lathe has been great , it has almost paid for itself by saving me money and making money from projects that other people needed done .
