Just wondering for my own machine as I was planning on doing some long range running. Maybe some sort of pump and oil cooler setup would be a help? You'd think they would keep on going though as long as they were filled with oil. I went about 4-5 miles with mine non stop at around 17-19mph but probably not much farther than that. It was fairly hot and kicked a little oil out but no serious issues that I know of.

I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to drill and tap some holes in the top of the axle tubes and then pressure feed both sides. Maybe with a normal gear driven automotive oil pump running off the axle or something. If you had decent enough size lines so it would flow. Probably would keep them a lot cooler too. Wouldn't need a lot of pressure I wouldn't think, just a bit. I guess the other gears and shafts make out ok with the needle bearings.

Have been a few upgrades to this thing over the last year. Like 2" rear stretch, jd front axle , winch install, and some hillvilly beadlocks on new tires.

This tractor is pretty basic so not a lot fails often on it, it's not changed much in the near decade I've been riidng it so it's pretty dialed in.
