There are two seals on the pump drive shaft. The seals come out with the drive shaft. The shaft and gear can be removed from the front of the motor if there is room between the cover and radiator. You will need about eight inches of room directly in front of the pump. Not sure on the 615 but the loader frame work may be a big hindrance to working there. If you decide to tackle it your self, take the little cover off the side of the pump (shut off fuel first) and rotate the motor by hand to line up the timing marks in the pump. Pull the small front cover plate (Watch for spring and plunger in shaft), Pull the shaft and gear out by hand and before rotating or turning it, look for a dot or dimple in the blade (inner) end of the shaft. The shaft can go back in in two different positions so make sure you know what position the dot is in (Up, Down, Right or Left). The seals will be on the shaft and can be purchased from any Oliver, AC, Agco, or Deere dealer. They have all used these pumps sometime in the past. Take the old ones with you, if the parts man knows his stuff he won't even look up the numbers. These can be a real bear to reinstall because there is no room to work and even less room to see. The seals go on the shaft with the lips towards their respective ends of the shaft and opposing each other. It is very easy to roll the first seal over backwards and ruin it. Oil it up with some motor oil before installing. . Make sure the dot on the end of the shaft is in the same relative position as when taken out. When all the way in the marks in the pump window should be lined up. If not, then pull it out again and use a screwdriver to turn the pump and reinstall till right. Clean Hands, Clean Tools, and a Clean Environment are escenstial to success. You can also pull the pump and accomplish the same thing.
