Input shaft leak on Regular

Oldiron29 · Dec 20, 2011

I have been cleaning up a 1931 Regular. I repacked belt pully, rear PTO, pto lever
and tranny input shaft. All packing are holding I topped off tranny gear oil. I am getting a little drip coming from splin in shaft to universal. I have the same leak on my F-20.
The regular had a rubber washer under the metal washer and bolt at input shaft. Anyone have a rubber wash there? Anyone have leaking problem from shaft splin? What did you do? oldiron29

They leaked when they were new. Look at pics of old dealer showrooms and there will be a drip pan under it.

Howard, I guess it will stop leaking when level gets below the shaft. oldiron29

I stopped mine by cleaning the yoke and shaft splines and then using silicone sealer and a thin gasket material washer under the metal washer.Been in there several years now,no drip.

Probably. My 36 f20 leaks a little where the case bolts up underneath. I wedged it with some oakum cuz I was too lazy to take it apart and make a new gasket.

I think Cowman said it best a few weeks back, but these old girls like to mark their territory........based upon the ones I have worked on and from what I have read, I think the felt washers weren't so much to keep the oil in as they were to keep the dirt out..............

Dave, next time I get it in the shop I just might try that. Thanks oldiron29
