yup, only issue is the LH final drive axle nut - the extra stress will pop the cotter key on the castle nut and back off the axle. It is not an issue if it is checked every season - and almost no one who hasn't had the problem does... out of sight out of mind... in the meantime the unit , if the head is set correctly , will almost float.

Wow, that F3's wheels are wide! Do I see a fluid line on front drive tires?
A pair of 23.1x26 (2 wheel drive) wheels turned around so their cleats ride up on mud, coupled with 18.4-16.1 rear steers will walk across soft fields too.

...HMMM...it was the left side on my f2 with "extra bin capacity".Went out after lunch and oil running down tire.Bout crapped. Figured I was looking for a final but after ripping it apart,I found a sheared cotter.It hadn't come too far apart yet and just cleaned up and readjusted.Didn't even hurt the seal. That was before MACK said to drill and install roll pin so I need to pay attention now. Been kinda nice if they'd designed a spacer between brgs so you could cinch it down tight. I know,added cost....
