1949 JD B Powr-Trol. Right side, there is a lever that holds a leaf spring attached to two pins above and below. These pins hold the plug-ins for the hydraulic hoses (or dummy plugs when not in use), hold those plugs in... Leakage is at bottom pin. How to repair - Is it removable from outside, with some sort of an "O" ring... How to repair?
Leaking pretty heavy almost a stream. doesn't matter whether tractor running, Powr-Trol running or not.
 
Must be leaking around the seal that is in the housing sealing on the OD of the plugs. Does it leak with both the dummy plug and the remote adapters?
 
Ray, I know those two little pins you are talking about. Once the cam locking lever and spring plate is off, you can pull those pins out and there is a little o-ring in there. I have never seen them listed anywhere but I decided on mine that if they leaked I was just going to use a spiral pick to take it out and go to the "o-ring store" and I'm sure it's an available size. Probably be fun re-installing but what isn't.
 
Thanks, that's what I thought. IT manual not much help. Diagrams almost impossible to read. Now where did I put that dental pick?
 
I think every one missed the mark.

Those dummy plugs are sealed by O-rings but they are up inside of the housing 2 for on each plug stem. One of them is really up in there a ways.

The lock in pins need no seals because oil is not to get back that far.
