what you are calling the fill level plug is the vent for the main hubs. if you fill it to that level the differential will not have enough gear oil.

@@radozeman i work for milwaukee and i've been eyeballing those.

That is the wrong hole. The gear oil fill hole has a gauge that you use. it is actually a dipstick that is used to so that you dont run the differential dry which is what you did.

Always nice to have a hydraulic press to press bearings in with. I've used my former boss's hydraulic press several times. His has a gauge that told you how much pressure you were exerting on the part in PSI, which was really handy. I remember rebuilding a retractable landing gear on a 1980 Piper Arrow airplane where I was basically pressing steel bearings into aluminum castings. There are four castings in an Arrow and I remember gritting my teeth while I was pressing those steel bearings in place and hoping I wouldn't crack any of those aluminum housings because each one of those housings was $1100.00 a piece! Fortunately, I got the new bearings installed in all four housings without a problem, got the landing gear all back together, the gear retracted and extended flawlessly the first time. Having that PSI gauge on the hydraulic press helped a lot. Lol!

I've seen that on some presses, always thought that looked useful, unfortunately i don't think there is a way to incorporate that on this one.

@@radozeman When you are reassembling the axle, after you slide the differential and ring gear into the housing, what holds it in place? Does it just free float against the pinion gear? We have a Mahindra 7010 apart (due to a broken pinion gear) and it seems like an odd design as it appears that the diff/ring gear just float in the housing…? There’s a snap ring on the outer end that stops the diff, but not on the pinion side??

This guy sounds like a used car salesman!

How many hours do you have on that tractor? What brand and type of hydraulic oil do you use ? I bought mine 2nd hand and didn’t get a manual with mine.

I'd like to say 500 hours, failure in was lack of oil, either we didn't fill it properly or it leaked out. We use the Mahindra brand hydraulic oil, and Mahindra 80w90 for the front axle.

Have you found the leak ? What if it leaks out again that will be another 2000

No, we did not, my dad thought maybe he forgot to fill it when he changed it out last time. We have been checking it periodically and so far it has been fine.

What was your parts cost and where did you order from please ?

I few hundred if I remember correctly. Our closest dealer at the time was Louis Gelder & Sons in Hart MI

it may have had a bearing go out then the oil leaked out causing the lockup

We used what the manual recommends, I don’t recall what it was again without looking it up.
