A month ago I started cutting hay with my 841. A loud thump, crack and the engine spooled down. One of the timing gears came apart, took the other out and departed the engine through the timing gear housing. So I tore it down and overhauled the engine.
Now I'm having a major rear seal leak...like 2 quarts an hour.
I ordered a rear seal kit as part of my overhaul parts from Tractor supply and it didn't come with rope seals, but since I've read mixed results of replacing the rope seals with out dropping the crank, I went ahead and tried to just replace the rear seal, but it still leaks.
I ordered a rubber CONN6701A which is supposed to be the rubber replacement for the EBU6701A and plan to take the engine off and replace the seals this weekend. But, the 6701A looks identical to the rear seal and my recollection is that the rope seal channel is larger than the rear seal channel.
Does anyone know if the CONN6701A is a direct replacement for the EBU6701A rope seal? If not is there direct replacement or do I need to just get the rope seal and "deal with it"?
