john deere 60 governor question

rausch in battleground · Jun 8, 2008

on the governor on my 60 there is a plug that is metal and leaks oil a little bit. it is not the one in the bearing cover. it is above the back of the flywheel cover and is about the size of a half dollar. i can get my fingernails under it and pull it out a little.i cant find mention of it in my parts book and have no idea what it is. is there a seal or gasket that is supposed to go behind it? any help would be appreciated. it dosent leak much but it is enough to be annoying.thanks,keith

It's just a frost plug. It plugs the hole for the gear and shaft that connects the camshaft to the hyd. pump.

how do i get it out to fix it? is there a gasket available for it or can i permatex it?

That sounds like the shaft for the hyd. pump idler gear. It has an o-ring on it. You have to pull the hyd. pump off then remove a lock pin then the shaft will come out. Be careful not to drop the thrust washers down into the case.
