I see you got your axle seals, my national brand seals were red, where yours are green....I hope that doesn't make a difference...LOL. I also noticed you axle tubes are aluminum, mine were cast (of course my tractors are one series older than yours). I removed my seals much the same way you did, I have some large prybars, got one that the tip was small enough to pass through the hole, one well applied blow to the handle with the palm of my hand, and they popped right out. I did this with the axle installed on the tractor, so was easier to apply pressure vs. the loose axle tubes you were dealing with.

You're doing great, the pics are great and numerous, ought to inspire some neebies to tackle some of these tasks, keep up the good work!

I need some of them gloves, I go at it bare handed, thus my hands are too nasty most of the time to take as many pics as you!
