BX1500 Front Axle Seals. Scrap It or Fix It??

We finally tackle the leaky front end on the BX1500. Long overdue repair for this great machine

[@IronOakSawmill]

Sorry guys. We lost signal, and couldn't stay til the end. Hope everyone enjoyed the premier. Have a great weekend.

Now that's a job Chuck. It's good that you can figure things out and fix things. More work but you save a big labor cost if you had the dealer do the work.

[@debfromthemill6945]

Hi Joel and yes you're right, the cost of this going into a shop would of been a big bill alone. Take care

[@IronOakSawmill]

I was blessed with the ability. It's a good feeling to do the work yourself, but I know my limits. Big Ford transmissions is one of them. LOL

[@user-ui1gl4yn4v]

Good going guys

[@IronOakSawmill]

Thank you to everyone who joined the premier. We know it was early, but we wanted to chat with whoever could make it.

[@debfromthemill6945]

That's okay Joe. Take Care

[@IronOakSawmill]

Thank you so much for watching. Take care

We are hoping it helps folks out. Thank you as always for stopping.

Aircraft mechanic dittos. Nice job. Kept everything clean and didn't spare the assembly grease and oil. One of the more impressive how to vids I have seen on U-tube. Well done. Regarding that seal removal tool it is real easy to score the seal housing surface if you aren't careful. Snap ring pliers are one of the tools I don't try to save money on when I purchase them. No place for cheap Chinese. Best Regards.

[@IronOakSawmill]

Thank you very much. Definitely cautious about the with the seal housing surface. Seal is no good when the mating surface is junk. Sourcing a legitimate set of snap ring pliers. Don't use them much, but no sense fighting with a garbage set when you do need them.

Awesome video Chuck

[@IronOakSawmill]

Thank you Don. We hope it helps someone complete this repair on their BX1500

[@debfromthemill6945]

Sorry everyone we lost the signal when we got here.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

My first tractor was a BX.

[@IronOakSawmill]

Definitely a great machine. Anywhere we used it, people were impressed by its power.

[@billboy7390]

Anyone who owns a tractor needs to know how to fix them. At least you can still get parts.

[@debfromthemill6945]

Yes Bill and we are grateful for that. Take care.

[@IronOakSawmill]

If not, you better be ready to pay big to have it repaired. Hope this video helps someone make these repairs to their BX1500

[@jimp.4531]

no pinched or crushed fingers is always a good sign, hehehe.

[@IronOakSawmill]

Good to go home, the same way you came in. 😆😆😆😆

[@kennethpwhritenour2701]

I rebuilt a 24 hp Kabota front end and they’re not easy

[@IronOakSawmill]

Lots of heavy iron to deal with for sure. What model tractor was it?

[@debfromthemill6945]

Sorry Scheib we didn't take the dually.
