It shows the worn seal up close, compares it to John Deere's redesigned ribbed replacement part, and discusses pricing (around $130 CAD / $100 USD) and whether the ribbed design better resists dirt intrusion. Useful for owners diagnosing axle seepage or researching the updated seal design, not a full teardown walkthrough.
This is the creator's first-ever video, posted by an owner-operator sharing their own repair experience rather than a professional or dealer channel.
Dirt gets in between the two surfaces on the knuckle, and as the axle turns it grinds, sands, and chafes the seal, chewing up the outside edge until it seeps or leaks.
Yes, the new seal is a little taller so it sits higher in the hub, and the outer seal is now ribbed instead of smooth, which may help resist dirt intrusion.
The seals are around 130 Canadian dollars, which is roughly 100 US dollars.
