Description
If you’ve noticed oil drops on the shop floor or streaks on your front tires, that leaking pivot pin seal is trying to tell you something. The front axle on your New Holland or Case IH pivots constantly as you steer and work over rough ground – and when that seal fails, expensive gear oil starts walking away while dirt and moisture walk in. Don’t wait until you’re adding oil weekly or worse, until metal-on-metal grinding tells you the differential ran dry.
What You’re Getting
- Double-lip design keeps oil sealed in while keeping contamination out
- Oil-resistant compound that handles modern gear oils and their additives
- Steel reinforcement prevents distortion under the pressure and movement
- Precision molding maintains contact through the full range of steering motion
- OEM dimensions for a proper fit that seals like the original
Built for Real Farm Work
Your T6000, T6, Maxxum, or Puma represents serious horsepower for serious work – whether you’re pulling tillage equipment, running a loader, or handling transport duties. These tractors rely heavily on their front-wheel assist systems, pulling through wet fields, handling loader work, or navigating hills. The pivot pin takes tremendous loads as the axle oscillates over uneven ground while transferring power to the front wheels. When this seal fails, you’ll lose the lubrication that keeps those expensive gears and bearings running smooth.
Made to Last
This isn’t just a rubber ring – it’s engineered to handle multiple challenges at once. The compound is specifically formulated to resist the EP (extreme pressure) additives in modern gear oils that can cause standard seals to swell and fail. The steel reinforcement keeps the seal from distorting when hydraulic pressure builds up, while the dual-lip design gives you backup protection if the primary lip shows wear.
Installation Notes
Clean the pivot pin shaft thoroughly and check for wear grooves – a damaged shaft will chew up your new seal quickly. Use a proper seal driver to install evenly without nicking the sealing lips. While you’re in there, check that the differential breather isn’t plugged – pressure from a blocked breather will blow out seals faster than you can replace them. A bit of gear oil on the seal lips before installation helps with initial lubrication.
