The old Samurai is back in action.
Filled the front axle with 5 liters diesel (a sin these days) and nothing leaked out. Came out relatively clean as well. Want it for your SUV? I'll make you a good price 😁
Filled in the proper transmission oil and fashioned a hood for the filler cap which is missing its vent cover. I ordered a vented filler cap which might fit, this should do until then.
Then finished the bottom service at last, fresh clutch oil (yup, Iseki got a wet clutch) and greased all the nipples. Found the front input shaft has a grease drain plug, something I've not seen before.
Test drive down the valley with the trailer to fetch some old scrap wood for the sauna. All good.

Tractor front axle rebuild done. Still need the proof - filling in the oil and seeing if it stays put this time. Tomorrow!
The second side went smoothly thanks to experience gained and having all the right tools ready now.
I would love to know what the official authorized method of prying out these bottom caps is though. They're brass with a rubber outside, not disposable like a freeze plug, so no hole drilling. Pain in the ass to pry them out. The sandal squat mechanic edited this part out 🤣
In total I replaced 12 bearings and 4 seals and cleaned out a lot of muck. The only ones I ordered and didn't use were two for the differential at the top, which seemed fine from the feel of the shaft.
Parts cost €224, including unused ones.

Fizzling Thursday
3 Sep 2026 Evan and Meagan got to practice early, and started doing some drills. Meagan made Evan a bet that if he blocked more shots than her, she would do his dishes(!). Sadly, he did not succeed. Garret being a goober, as usual of course. The other notable thing that happened today was our Ninja toaster oven started to go on the fritz. Which was rather disappointing and only then did we find out how much we really relied on it. Drippy Friday 4 Sept 2026 Nothing quite like going […] -
That just left the wheel shaft, bearings and seal. The housing was extremely muddy inside but cleaned up alright, none of the gearwheels had more than surface rust which brushed off easy.
Reassembled with RTV gunk and then installed back on the tractor. That's the right side completely rebuilt.
No more play, everything is firm and tight and hopefully not leaking, but I'll find out about that when I fill it.
Alas, the left side still needs doing and I'm out of light and time and spoons for today.
There I've done the wheel shaft already but the other parts also need doing as the bearings will be just as bad. At least I know how to get the vertical shaft out now :)

Vertical shaft didn't wanna come out because the drawing I have is different from the tractor. In the end I had to pry off a weird bottom cap and found two circlips inside, while the drawing had one on top that I don't have.
After that the shaft came out, I replaced the bottom bearing, a very worn thrust bearing and the steering seal.
Quite a bit of gunk in here to clean. And the bearings were due.

Pried off the old cassette seals with some effort.
Then extracted the broken bolt with a set of left-handed drill bits, which I've had mixed success with in extremely salt-water rusted boat stuff, but this time they worked a charm.
Probably also because it was steel in steel, not steel bolts in cast aluminium with salt water corrosion, which is absolutely horrible.
New seal sleeve on the steering, new bearings on the bevel gears and onto the next part, the vertical shaft.

Deliveries arrived. This is turning into a full front axle rebuild.
Things came apart well but I found a broken bolt that had just been glued in with RTV sealant, thanks for that Litechnija! :old_man_yells_at:
The differential up top looked ok but some crud needed cleaning out.
Then a lot of removing rusty bearings. The gears are fine and cleaned up ok.
This time I ordered all the bearings so I should have everything for this job.
