PTO leaking

What sort of a job is replacing seals around the PTO on a 550? Does it involve major effort, taking out lots of mechanisms?
What have been the best parts sources for the 550?

thanks to all
 
Not a big job. Drain the oil out of the final drive, take off the bearing retainer, remove the felt seal, and oil seal. Check the shaft for wear. If there is a grove in the shaft where the oil seal seats, fill it with JB weld and use emery cloth to smooth it out. Get a new seal and felt dust washer. The books says to use a small amount of sealing compound on the outside of the seal to ensure a tight seal around the outer edge. Install the seal with the lip pointing toward the tractor when the retainer is installed.
