Ford 600 oil in bell housing

Craig2 · Jul 25, 2018

I am replacing the clutch in my Ford 600. I have the tractor split and am waiting on parts. I noticed a big puddle of oil under the rear of the tractor last evening. It looks to be coming out around the splined shaft and dripping in the bell housing. It did not have oil there when I pulled it apart. What do I have going on? Is there a seal I need to replace before I put it back together?

The input shaft seal for the transmission was probably on the verge of failing and leaking, and splitting the tractor disturbed it enough to put it over the edge. You should definitely replace the input seal (or seal[b:2e23d06c4f]s[/b:2e23d06c4f] if it has live PTO) before putting it back together.

I am assuming I can get to that through the back of the bell
housing? I haven?t looked at yet
