Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 14, 2019 Grease , seals , availability , diffs , makes me think of something that some will take as VooDoo , I am always trying to learning something new every day , this has been working for me , pump that diff full of grease and hub oil mix , the seals and bearings can go pass their normal life expectancy with a little help from grease ---- I can attest to less repairs and out of pocket seal cost expenditures since I started packing ..... once you pack , you will never go back !!!

LOL well bro, you ride in swamps !!!..lol., I do not, less wear for water, mud getting in where it should not. but..to each their own..right ? :-). my '89 trx350D foreman 4x4 still runs strong to this day, If a problem pops up on her ?, i'll jump on it, not leave it, so things get worse like some folks do. my rule of thumb is, if you take care of it ?, IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU !.

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted December 15, 2019 Ahhh Shade , I always say " If God gives you lemons , then make lemon aid " , he placed me in the swamp , don't want to ride on my lawn , so I am going to " send it " ...... but all joking aside , since using a grease / mix , things have be good !!! Maybe if all the atv'ers out there would switch over , there wouldn't be a shortage of seals !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadetree 5,882 Posted December 15, 2019 Ok, here's before tear down pics of front diff, a pic of what a torn seal looks like, front diff ripped apart, and a few pics of the swing arms finally going back together. and some pics of rear brake area together. now I wait for my seals to come in, then put the front diff, front axle all back together :-). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
