Good morning,
Newbie here. I grew up farming for a guy with JD's - spent 12 years + on them - but just recently purchased my first. I bought a 1957 JD 420T, to restore and use around the house moving snow/etc.
There is oil leaking around the PTO shaft. When not engaged, it doesn't drip, but when engaged, there is a slow but steady drip. So I'm hoping that there's a seal there that wouldn't be too much trouble to fix. I'm not afraid of diving in and getting after it, but I was hoping for a bit of advice regarding what might be causing the problem and what I'd be getting into.
If there is an answer to this question already on the forum, my apologies - I did search, but came up dry....
Thanks
BA
