Description

If you’ve noticed steering that feels loose or oil spots where your tractor’s been parked, chances are your front pivot seal is telling you it’s ready for retirement. This seal sits in the heart of your front axle assembly, keeping gear oil where it belongs and dirt out of your expensive differential components. A worn seal doesn’t just make a mess—it invites contamination that can turn your smooth-running front end into a grinding, expensive repair.

What You’re Getting

Precision-engineered seal that maintains oil pressure while allowing smooth pivot movement
Quality rubber compound that resists breakdown from gear oils and hydraulic fluids
Double-lip design provides backup sealing if the primary lip shows wear
Direct replacement that fits factory specifications without modifications

Built for Real Farm Work

This part covers a wide range of Same and Deutz tractors from compact utility models to larger row-crop machines. Whether you’re running a Same Explorer through tight vineyard rows, working hayfields with a Deutz Agroplus, or handling daily loader chores with an Agrofarm, your front axle pivot is constantly flexing and moving. The pivot assembly handles both steering forces and torque loads from front-wheel drive systems, making proper sealing critical for both control and power delivery.

Made to Last

This isn’t a generic seal from an industrial supplier—the compound is specifically formulated to resist the extreme pressure additives in modern gear oils that can cause standard seals to swell and fail. The metal outer case prevents distortion during installation and provides structural support under the constant pressure changes that front axles experience during field work.

Good to Know

Before installing the new seal, clean the housing thoroughly and check the pivot pin or shaft for grooves that could destroy your new seal. Use a proper seal driver to avoid hammering it crooked, and apply a thin coat of oil to the seal lips before installation. Since you’re already in there, it’s worth checking the condition of related components like bushings and bearings—worn parts will quickly damage a new seal.
