Morning Everyone This past Saturday I did a favour for Belleville Neil.He posts in here from time to time ( Bush-Hogged ) some grass at a lot that he looks after in Trenton. He arrived at my house with a trailer and we loaded her up and away we went. The grass was quite thick and heavey, so I took my time. When we were all done I loaded the tractor back onto the trailer for the ride home. While loading her I noticed an oil leak, Nothing serious. I looked under the motor where the oil was leaking from and seen this small hole, just in front of the transmision housing. The oil was dripping out of there. My 1952 TEA-20 has never done this before or since. I had her out yesterday mowing some of my own grass. Can anybody explain to me why this happened. The small hole looks like it should be there, but for the life of me I dont know why. Any help would be great. Thanks

Barry - thanks for the seminar on bushhogging! Ring me to sort out the delivery of your case of beer! I'm going out now to see if I can make any headway on my lift arms that don't.

Its just to drain any oil that leaks from the transmission into the clutch housing (the rear hole) the front hole is to drain any oil from the engine rear main seal. they both should have a thin split pin in the hole to keep it clean and let it drain....Jim W has the right idea about it....see how much leaks over a period of time and when you feel so inclined and have nothing better to do take the engine out and change the seal. It is of course possible that the oil is a little on the full side and because you had been working it so hard the excess oil came out through the seal, it may never leak again (we hope)

I think the hole you refer to is supposed to leak in case the seals inside leak ,this in turn keeps the oil from getting on the clutch ,i know my to -30 leaks from time to time and it has a bent cotter pin in the hole to keep it free,it stops until i park on a slope and then drips again ,i dont worry about it though .
Good luck
Danny

It could be engine oil leaking out the rear crankshaft seal, in which case the repair involves separating the engine and the transmission. Or, it could be transmission oil leaking out the front transmission seal, in which case the repair involves separating the engine and the transmission.
So, most people put it off as long as possible. Put a bucket under the hole and see how much it drips for now.

Morning Jim, John & Danny
Thanks for the response. I run the tractor last night brushing some heavey grass, the tractor was working very hard. After I turned it off a noticed the oil dripping out. I put a can under the drip and checked it this morning. There wasnt enough oil to cover the bottom of the soup can. So I think mabe it has done this for a while and I never noticed it. There is no cotter pin in the hole as you suggest, maybe I should put one in. Anyway it starts and runs well. Thanks for the explanation
