2005 John Deere 790 outer front gear replacement.

[@winfordnettles3292]

Thanks for posting. I've had my 2003 John Deere 790 since 2018 and it had 1000 hours on it when I got it. Now, 200 hours and five years later, I have this gear problem that your video addresses. I am going to dig into it. Wish me success.

Thank you. I'm hearing a significant clunk in the left front wheel assembly of my JD 790 when in 4-wheel drive. Don't know if I'm man enough to dig in there, but I use my tractor every day, so a fix is needed.

This known issue finally caught up with me in 2020. I'm wondering if the repair is worth it or should I trade up to a 3005 that fixed the design flaw.

I believe you should keep it, but keep your eys on the 4WD, and dont use it all the time. I am happy with it.

There is another gear up there, was so long ago I don't remember how I did it

[@randymachoman8529]

OK Cool, thanks for your reply

Is the pin gear always suppose to spin freely ? My front 4wd is grinding. Gears look like they have been grinding but gears ok. Pin gear does not spin when i try to move it

[@dronetech3358]

I think you need to dis engage rge 4WD lever on the tractor in order to get it freely turn

[@randymachoman8529]

how did you get the shaft back up in there? I'm having trouble. looks like another gear moved blocking the whole where the shaft goes up into.

[@calebthomson5665]

I think I had to assemble the outer assembly before bolting it back to the axle

They’re always breaking on me.... they need to make it more heavy duty....😩

[@MikeSmith-nu9wt]

I suggest you sell it as fast as you get it together , cause it will break again ...that was a piss poor design on john deeres part

[@Ranchready496]

I wonder if you could put another different type of differential on it ..... like from a kubota more heavy duty

[@bigcheese370]

Where’s your design?
