Brother bought a 3 cylinder 4000 with diesel engine and Select-O-Speed transmission with the last year or so.
Front of transmission was leaking profusely. Upon splitting, he found the input shaft and TLC splines all but gone. He also found some of the hardware only finger tight and some not much more than that. It appears the leak was caused by missing hardware at the bottom of the pump adapter plate.
I had a good used shaft and he found a good used TLC.
Just as we were ready to replace the pump adapter plate, I looked at it and was shocked to see that it contained no bearing cup (race if you wish) for the PTO front bearing. Oh, the cone or the bearing was there, but no cup and not sure about the seals.
Moral of the story: If one doesn't know how to cook - it's best to stay out of the kitchen.
