I recently changed the transmission fluid on this combine. The specs say it holds 11 quarts. When I drained the fluid there was less than a quart. Knowing the machine had not been maintained I was not concerned. I put in 11 quarts of 80-90 gear oil.
I drove it around the edge of a field and then checked for leaks. There was a steady flow of fluid from the left brake drum. I am not familiar with these machines but assume there is a seal around the transmission/drive shaft that is leaking/running into the brake drum?? I was surprised I did not see fresh oil between the transmission and the brake drum.
Does anyone have experience, suggestions or a WAG how to start?
Thanks,
Rich
