I just had the Perkins gas engine completely overhauled on my old 135. Head rebuilt, pistons, sleeves, bearings and a new crankshaft. From the get go there is a steady drip of clean new engine oil from the rear main seal area. The overhaul was done by an authorized Perkins service center. They offered to replace the seal if I remove the engine from the tractor again. They also explained that since the EPA banned the use of asbestos even in rope seals they have to use a Kevlar seal which is less forgiving and harder to get to seal. I don't like seeing oil drip out of my new motor(The worn out engine didn't leak a drop at that location!) and think it would be easier to split and slide the tractor apart than to pull the engine again. I've installed rope and felt seals in the past myself with good luck. Are there any better options? Does anyone make a 2 piece neoprene lip seal for the little Perkins? There has to be a solution!
