I figured, so I stopped to ask. Pretty poor that the manuals make
no mention of it. I just glued it this AM, so I'll be ready to work
this evening. Thanks for the tip!

Yes, I'm replacing the bull pinion seals and I have a drawer full
of mikes, so I'll check the beaing preload according to the
manual. The bearings look perfect. All the seals and o-rings
were hard and dry and look like they had been puking for a long
while. The discs were pretty close to new thickness but very oil
soaked.I decided to reseal the diff lock too. None of the hard
parts were damaged or worn, but the seals were very brittle. I
found that the oil line to the unit had been blocked. I have a lot
of grass and stubble in the field right now, so having he diff lock
working will be a help.

One comment I have is that the manual reprints I got (and paid a
heck of a lot for) are only about 80 percent applicable to my
tractor. What's worse, I even called to makes sure I got the right
books because they didn't say "826" anywhere on them. What I
did get was assurances that they were fine. Some of my manuals
are for 806s and while those are similar tractors, I see a lot of
differences. This is something I just discovered and, of course,
they won't take them back a year later. I'm not happy and that
place won't get any of my money again. Fortunately, I had an I&T
manual for backup, but they lack a lot of detail too. Happily, its
not brain surgery.

Thanks again for the tips!
