Massey 35 steering woes

masseypat · Jun 20, 2014

Just picked up a Massey 35 with the continental motor, guy told me that the power steering pump leaked... Normal problem I figured, bought the tractor and replaced the seal behind the gear, filled reservoir with fluid put the top on, fired her up.... Cycled the steering a few times... Just to notice the fluid is pouring out the bottom of the clutch housing. So here is the question.... Why? I assume must be something in the steering gear, but any more specific details as far as course of action? Thanks alot all for the help.

whoa, power steering pump might leak into crankcase but IMHO not into clutch housing

appears you have a different leak, catch some of the fluid and see if you can identify either engine oil or trans oil

Only reason I was thinking steering somehow was because it didn't leak out the bellhousing until I filled power steering reservoir after I just replaced the seal. But looking at the parts diagram it doesn't look like it's possible. So I am still trying to figure it out...
