I've had a small oil leak under the tractor for
years. Last Feb. put new gaskets on the oil pump
assembly (since it was apart) and replaced the oil
pan gasket. Still leaks. Now I have to believe it
is the rear main seal. I have worked on many
engines over the years and never had any issues
with this type of repair. However, everything i
have done with seals like this were when the motor
was upside down on a stand. Can i do this with
the motor still in place or is it near impossible?
Is it hard to get the bearing and cap back in
place?
I know someone out there has tried this...
