Great video. 👍🏻 Have you replaced the wheel bearings on that before? Or no? Im wondering about the orientation of that main nut on the wheel shaft. Small end(less taper?l towards the wheel or no.
If I recall its more of a greaseable bushing. I do have some footage of me going through the wheels, I will try to get it edited and uploaded. That nut has three positions, and there are metal shims to get an "in between" amount of clearance. I just installed mine so they were tight, but not so tight that they created drag. I have not had a problem. Thanks for the comment!
@@TheHooptyHaybalers I'm talking about the big nut on the shaft the wheel rids on. It backs up(adjacent) to the driveshaft you replaced the u-joints on. I am wondering if you recall the correct orientation/installation of that nut. I recently did my left side hub. I put the smaller portion of nut towards the wheel bearing. Being a bearing with a rubber seal, this made more sense. To use the nut to push onto the inner part of the wheel bearing, instead of the rubber seal. I might be incorrect on the matter.
@@imagoodlistener2730 Ah ok I misunderstood, I have not replaced those bearings, but I can take a look at it tonight and let you know how mine is installed. From how you describe it, that's how I would assume it goes but I will double check.
Local parts store, measure cap diameter and outside lock up (cap to cap while pushed together) and they should be able to match up the size. John deere has them too but the catalog lookup only shows the "PTO" drive shaft not the ground drive shaft.
Great video. 👍🏻

@@imagoodlistener2730 I looked at my rake, you have them in the correct orientation. Tapered towards the bearing.
@@TheHooptyHaybalers oh man. Thank you for taking the time and using this format to communicate. I appreciate it. 🙏
Have a good day sir.
Where did you find the new ujoints
