656 Gas/ 263/1966

It seems that I was hood winked on this buy. After having the tractor for about 2 weeks and driving her some, the oil started dripping out the weep hole under the center compartment and near the hyd filter. Question: If you pull the first cover "underneath" coming from the rear housing(sets almost under the TA and is approx 12 " long, wider on end toward rear than toward front of tractor) should oil be in that area? There is so much oil around, i don't know what covers are supposed to contain oil and what doesn't. There are two inspection covers underneath the TA on the bottom of the center housing. Thanks Jerry

PS The I&T manuel is more concerned about Hyd drive that explaining some simple features. Can't find a thing on internal seal replacement on PTO shaft or TA shaft.

I would like to have a better step by step instructions than I&T when we begin. But my man works on transmissions every day and some on large trucks, etc. With instructions to follow, I think we will do OK, but it sure is a first for us both. I'm putting in a new clutch and pressure plate with throw out bearings and other while in there, which is just about standard on all IH stick shifts. But the TA is different. TA works good, just has a weep leak somewhere.

Thanks again
