Thanks to all that gave tips on the 45 cylinder questions I had. You guys really had me convinced just to buy the kit and rebuild properly except that I already had the shaft seal and O ring on hand, so I figured why not try it and if not, I can take it back apart.
So I put a new shaft seal and O ring on, and they seem to be sealed well, with no leaks after about an hour of use. We'll see if it holds, but definitely much better then it was, pouring out oil before!
Just popped the hoses, pins, and the end cap off. The pins were plenty tight in the yokes and rod
Old seals were shot, one would even pop out of it's bore when using
I need to put the grill back on but had to try it. Using the tractor as a self propelled wheel barrow to get piles of dead grass out of the yard
Not a bit of oil at the end of either rod after an hour. The very end of the rod has some pitting but it's good otherwise
My front tires and rims, replaced my originals when they stopped holding air. Had them on hand so the price was right! Wish I had powersteering for sure
Thanks all!
