John Deere 790 Review
Under Engineered Front Drive
Posted by Dog Rancher on 08/28/2016
I've replaced the left front ring, pinion, bearings and seals. Now I have to do the same to the right front.
Don't, and I repeat do not, use the front drive with a load in the bucket on a steady basis on hills. The front drive on the wheels is under-engineered. One small tooth takes the load. It needs a beefier setup. Aside from this problem, mine is very reliable.
