Hello all,

Well I got the old girl into the garage at last. I have all the supplies to do a full tune-up and have now noticed a considerable oil leak from the real seal area. So how involved will this be? Which manual will give me the best information for the project? What is a good source for the seal or gaskets necessary? Someday I know she will be ready to go to work and I can start the fun of a restoration and quit chasing these mechanical problems. That is of course after I get the PTO to quit endlessly spinning. But that is a later project. All my implements are currently ground driven.

Thanks in advance,

Biscuit

When you split the tractor to put the rear main seal, you will also have the PTO clutch out there in the open. Fix both at the same time. You will need two gaskets, pan, and rear seal plus the seal. If you have the cork seal, make sure you soak it in oil and lube the retainer before you put it back in. There was a kit to convert the cork seal into a lipe seal. You run a slight chance of having one.Of course now is the time to check the clutch too. Make sure you can slightly adjust the height of the front frame to aid in the reassembly. Also get a 2 foot length of 5/8 ready rod to help in the reassembly and use a floor jack to push the back out of the way and back into place. Questions ask away.

Check the PTO problem real close !!
I put PTO bearing and seal in thinking that was going to solve the problem (WRONG) !! What I found out was there is a O-ring inside the rear end that keeps the oil from coming through the splines on the PTO shaft.
After draining the rear end 3 times & pulling the hydraulics I got the PTO stopped from leaking.
So you may want to try and Fix the problem the first try instad of the third try like me ??
Just trying to save someone else a lot of extra work.
Oh !! by the way if you get inside to the PTO O-ring, before you drive out the split pin release the PTO lever. It will make it easier to get it out & line it up to put it back in. PTO Clutch
Here again you should try to get it adjusted first & if you can't then you may need to break tractor in half to repair the clutch ??

Kenny, thanks for the info on the PTO. I confused two issues in my orginal post. The oil leak is actual motor oil from around the rear of the motor where it meets the transmission. That is the seal I am after right now. The PTO will have to wait until the Fall when I have time to invest in chasing that problem. Thanks for the heads up on the PTO.

If you have a hydro-power then you will have to pull the engine and HP.and remove the clutch to get to the seal.
