Stumpy said: ...Here are my questions. Is there an inner seal behind the ball bearing on the axle? I took of the outer cap with a CR seal # 48776-D in it. When I did that I noted some play in the bearing. Can I replace that bearing without taking the the top cover off the tractor?
THanks for the help.

No, there is no seal behind the outer bearing. The new ones are a shielded bearing. This means the outside is open and the inside has a piece of metal to close that side off. I would assume they use this nowdays bc the gear oil would wash the grease out and the grease would push out into the axle housing. BTW, that bearing is $200+ from Case and was about $110 at my local bearing shop. A little play isn't a big deal just keep it greased. A big bearing that turns slow like that will last for a LONG time especially on a light duty tractor.
No top cover removal necessary for the outer bearing. You can take the wheel off and CLEAN THE AXLE SHAFT. Then the cap with seal and the bearing will slide off over the axle. It isn't too hard to do. We did it on the SM a couple years ago. That seal was pretty pricey, something like $30. I would try the bearing shop for that one before I called Case. My local shop is usually half of what CNH is charging. The bad part about that is almost all of it gets UPSed in rather than being there next day like CNH.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
