Ford 6610 - Small hydraulic leak

Hello all,

I have a new to me Ford 6610. I am doing a few TLC things before next hay season. I just replaced the 2 rubber boots that go around the brake rods (they were both leaking pretty good).

My question is now I have a very slow trickle leak coming from the shaft that goes into the housing, and I have the arrow pointing where the leak is. I am unsure what this shaft is called or what it's purpose is. Is there a seal I am missing? I can't figure out how on earth to diagnose this leak....it just slowly trickles out and down the case before eventually ending up on the ground.

Is it worth even touching for the small amount it leaks? After all, older tractors leak sometimes. I am just a little worried that if the oil gets hot while haying it would be more prone to leaking.

Probably a worn out seal in the cross shaft or brake shaft.. Might also check the bushings for wear also while your there. iirc.. you may have to pull a tire to get the shaft out but its been a while.

Thanks. I have not done a cross shaft before. It looks like it goes through to the other side as well. Is there a felt seal in there?
 
If you go down to the Ford board, and rattle Bern's cage, he can probably tell you exactly what you need, and the est way to attack it.
 

Yes theres a rubber lip seal and a felt dust seal on the outside to keep dirt and mud out of the lip seal
Youll have to drain the rear axle oil to remove the cross shaft
