Greetings!

My TO30 is leaking some oil down the left side rear wheel. Where is this coming from? The axle? I don't mind a small leak, but I don't want anything to go dry, so is there a way to top this up? what do I top it up with? Also, do I need to check the transmission fluid from time to time like a car? How do I do this? What do top it up with?

Thanks in advance for all help, Kevin

Kevin, To answer what to top it with, Massey says to use Mineral oil 80w - 90. Massey sells it as M1103 or GL1 grade. As for the brake linings being soaked in oil, if they still have a good thickness left you can soak them with gas using a towel and then once it is fully evaporated you can take a small propane torch and heat the pads until you see the oil smoking out. All this can be done without removing the linings and normally only the easiest and outside seal is sufficient to deal with the leaking.

Good luck

Kevin, there are actually two seals on each axle. When you do as Dale says and remove the drum and axle you will see one seal in the housing (trumpet). It is easy to remove and replace. The other is on the axle and must be cut off and pressed on. Many people take the whole axle to a dealer or shop and have them replace that seal (often the bearings are replaced at the same time). You can do it yourself, but most places are pretty reasonable and if you are not familiar with the process it may be better to pay for that service. The combined reservoir takes six gallons. Don't overfill. After you have drained it, some residue likely will remain, so it probably won't take six gallons to refill it....

Sounds like an axle seal. I've had an experience similar. Had to remove that wheel, brake assy, etc, pull axle, remove and install a replacement seal. Not too hard, provided you can support the tractor while wheel is gone. The fluid leaking at that axle may also contaminate your brake linings on that side; slipping instead of stopping is not a good thing at all. The fluid there is common with rest of transmission, so as you top off there it lubes that area as well. Dipstick on the right side of tractor will give you an idea where you are on the fluid level.
