mt touch-o-matic rt control lever leaking

wwklink · Oct 8, 2018

MT right TOM lever is leaking fluid from the seal and the groove pin 25H51T is missing from the left lever. Is it possible to remove that unit from the front of the rock shaft on the tractor and disconnect the linkage arms in order to R & R the control unit???? The parts list "looks like that is possible... Will I need any seals other than those needed for the two levers???

Mine is leaking at this spot too!

Yes and no. If anything is "moved" and not put back in the same position internally you will have issues with the TOM going up and down to the correct height once back together. To keep everything indexed well it is easier to get the whole thing on a bench to work on. This is how I did mine and I was able to take measurements easily, use a punch and make index marks where I could, etc. Not sure I could have done that with it on the tractor.

That is exactly what I was wondering about. So thank you for confirming my suspicions... Hopefully there is an MT owner out there with a good technique that will not lead to over torque or wondering....

Two guys can reasonably remove the unit from the tractor. Or an engine block crane would work just fine as well. I want to say someone told me to put the hitch at the lowered position before taking it off the tractor. I took a whole day to disassemble slowly. Take measurements, take pictures of your measurements, index what you can with a punch. Then I took a break. Second day I cleaned and re-assembled the unit going in reverse step by step.
