Description
When your front axle pivot starts weeping oil or making noise, this little seal is often the culprit. It sits right where the front axle pivots on the frame, keeping gear oil in and dirt out. Without a good seal here, you’ll get oil spots under the tractor and let contaminants work their way into the pivot assembly where they can cause expensive damage.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-made O-ring seal that fits the ZF pivot assembly perfectly
- Quality rubber compound that handles temperature swings and agricultural chemicals
- Direct replacement part – same dimensions as the original factory seal
- Part of the complete pivot kit 51688 for a full rebuild when needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This seal works in the front axle pivot assemblies on a wide range of tractors from utility models to big row-crop machines. Whether you’re running a Ford 10 Series pulling a disk, a Case IH doing loader work, or a John Deere 50 Series in the hay field, this seal keeps your MFWD system sealed tight so power gets to both axles when you need it most.
Made to Last
Farm tractors work in tough conditions – mud, dust, temperature extremes, and chemicals that would destroy ordinary seals. This O-ring is built from materials that resist swelling, cracking, and hardening even after years of exposure to gear oil and the elements.
Installation Notes
Access usually requires splitting the tractor to reach the pivot assembly, so it’s smart to replace all the pivot seals at once. Clean the groove thoroughly and check that the pivot pin isn’t worn or scored – a damaged pin will tear up a new seal quickly. A thin coat of gear oil on the seal helps it seat properly.
