As I mentioned, fluid was also sprayed on the rear tire and rim.
I can only guess that the sun shining on the tractor warmed things up and built up enough pressure to "spray" the fluid about 3 feet sideways past the dust cover. It's difficult to tell from my IT book, but it looks to me as though the flange on the oil seal is towards the rear of the tractor,.... but if I'm looking at the picture wrong, and it is actually towards the front of the tractor, could pressure have possibly "unseated" the seal in some way? I wasn't there to see it, but the ground and tire almost looked as though a small red-oil "bomb" had exploded.
I wouldn't have thought too much about it "if" the wind had been blowing, but it wasn't. I can't think of any other reason besides "heat" (from the sun) for such a leak, I had only driven the tractor about 100' from the garage when I parked it.
This was the first time the tractor had been moved since I topped off the lube-level (2 days before) with 90# gear lube. The temp here got up in the upper-80's the day this happened. Anyway, I thought this was pretty weird and was wondering if you guys had some ideas.
Due to my health, I'm not looking forwards to tearing into the transmission on this tractor just to check things out. Thanks,
RoninKS
