3032e Broken front axle LVA15986
Hello everyone, I have a 9yo 3032e with a 305 loader, 750 hours.
she has served me very well, I love this tractor.
recently I noticed the front spindle seals leaking most.y from the LHS and decided to change them.
I jacked up the tractor took off the wheels, drain the oil but soon as the steering rack released the hub dropped 1 inch.... I felt concerned and for good reason, the end of the axle was Brocken off and looks like it has been the way for a long time, contacted JD replacement is $7,900au plus 10%
for a bare axle
im in Australia couldn’t find a used one, also JD said there is an early and late model with the same part number...?
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thank you

Hello Big Jim the seal has been leaking for 2 weeks on both sides .... I can see it’s been broken for a long times, only because the seal leaked did it reveal the Brocken housing.
‘there is no damage to the wheel rim at all. The marks are from casting,
today I removed the whole front axle, and are now concidering welding up the housing with cast iron rods and a stick welder...? It’s already Brocken so might as well see what happens
thanks for the good luck I think I’m going to need it

Hello all, a mate came over and said might as well try to stick weld it because got nothing to loose, sounded like a good idea. Got my hands on some Nickel iron rods, this is the result

what do you all think ? Is it going to work?
felt like it welded really nice inside wouldn’t line up because it been warn out by the shaft

tried to replace the hub seals but had no luck there, one bearing was completely chewed out and the other side the bearing didn’t come out

I was shocked to find the bearing looked like this at 750 hours always serviced by John Deere.
the bearings are made in China.....
any suggestions would be great appreciated

I hope it holds up, that is one impressive repair. Keep us updated.Hello AJ no luck finding any parts in Australia.... the housing is elongated as you can see in the photos, your right it’s been done by the shaft that is amazingly undamaged
I have put it all back together a it’s looking good
