dripping oil

skostro · Jul 3, 2015

John Deere LA145 tractor:
Recently noticed what appears to be a brown liquid (after mowing) leaking/dripping from the rear axle on right side near tire (drip stops after mower has been sitting for a few minutes).
Removed tire but found nothing unusual with axle.
Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Either its overfull on HYDRO oil, or the
axle seal is bad and as the HYDRO unit
warms up the seal will leak . When shut off
it will cool down and the leak will stop.
These are kind of a sealed unit , but can
be rebuilt somewhat. Cost wise, you will be
better off running it like it is and
keeping an eye in the oil level.
