Geez, I"m a little out of my element with an F-20. I know that
they have a "drop box", the housing that holds the bull gear and
associated bearings. There should be a bearing on either side of
the bull gear on the axle shaft. The bearings would be internal
and there will be a seal where the axle shaft comes out of the
housing. Now, I imagine that the wheel would have to come off.
Beyond that I"m just not sure how the F-20 was constructed. If
you"re lucky, there may be a flange that you can remove to get at
the seal. There should be some way to snug up the bearings as
well. Again, I imagine that it has opposing tapered roller
bearings, like a wagon wheel. What does you shop manual show?
What kind of manual is it? Some manuals don"t show some
things because they assume that you already know all that.
Thanks a lot, huh? If you jack up the tractor, does the wheel
have any up-and-down play? That will cause a seal to leak. Gotta
fix that before replacing the seal. I"m guessing that you can tell
that it"s not leaking from anywhere else around that area? I
believe that there is a gasket in between the cover and the drop
box housing. How big of a leak is it?
I don"t know if I"ve helped, but maybe this gives you a place to
start. Let me know what"s going on.
