Let me share it with you because where you are headed, ya really don't wanna go. It's a total nightmare of a job. All those roll pins, shafts, linkages, etc. are gonna make you pull your hair out by the roots. Not to mention, if the shaft bores are wobbled out, it is still gonna leak when your are done anyway. :>(
This fix is not by the book, but it works and it will save you two days of cussin', screamin', spittin' and kickin the dog. :>)
This picture is taken from the right side of the tractor standing beside the levers (after the fix).
Take the seat off by removing those bolts at the lower rails. Then, take the remaining bolts out of the cover plate. Very gently lift that cover; if it has never been off of there you can probably even save the gasket too.
The cavity is going to be level full of oil. Clear up to the top.
Standing behind the tractor, you'll find that in the front left/centerish area of the cavity, there is going to be an approximately 2 1/2 or 3" X 3/8" pipe standing vertically.
Unscrew/remove that pipe and the oil will then drain down the 3" to the level where the pipe was screwed in.
See where I'm going with this?
The only purpose of that pipe is to keep the level of the oil clear up to the top of the cavity.........burying anything and everthing in there......including the lever shafts and those pesky, leaky o-rings.
Reinstall the cover plate, gasket and seat assembly. Go have a glass of iced tea 'cause yer done.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
