Pto seal

Further to John
I replaced the bearing on the pto with a double seal type and placed 2 each 5/16 wide seals packed with grease. the double seal bearing won't let in any condensation in from the transmission oil and the grease packed double seals on the outboard will saave the rest. Nothing out , nothing in. Then the cap. When you need new grease just insert with care a needle point grease attachment with a few shots. Your then good for a long time.

My 2 cents worth.

Park the front end in a 2 foot deep ditch so the oil runs forward (saves draining the trans) and undo the bolts you can see round the PTO shaft.

Withdraw the shaft, remove the old seal, replace it, and put it back together - but be very careful not to score or damage the lip of the new seal even slightly, otherwise you will be no better off.

I think that's about it. The job should take about 45 minutes.

To make inserting the PTO shaft easier, once you have shut the tractor off, put it in 1st gear and engage the PTO - this will stop things rotating and make reinsertion easier.

If you have a shop manual, working out what you need to do is easier.

Good Luck
