HOWSOMEVERS iff'n ya park yer tractor front wheels innna deep ditch the 5-gals won't leak out (due to the angle) and you can eazily remove the 4-bolts of yer PTO plate and remove the PTO shaft and inspect and replace yer seal at yer leisure. Ain't that a neat trick??? .......Dell   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Unless you like working in a ditch, drain the fluid out; for info on that, check out tips 3 & 4 at the link below. The seal has two spring clamps around it. Take your needle nose pliers & remove the one in the front. Then, hang the shaft & bearing housing in your vice & tap the butt end of the shaft; the bearing cap will come off (and will land on your foot). Then, remove the other spring clip from the other side of the seal. At this point, remember that you never bought a seal driver & go get a BF socket & drive the seal out. If you have the new style seal, the white side goes out. If not, the open side goes to the fluid. Put some grease on it. 50 Tips   [Reply]   [Send Email]
