TO30 PTO Seal Replace

On the MF-65 the snap ring and the bearing housing did not need to come off. There is an oil seal retainer (180 465 M1) that the seal slips into and an "o"-ring on the outside of the retainer.

I removed the oil seal retainer from the PTO shaft by hand no hammer. I did have to use a wood dowel as a drift punch and a hammer to work the PTO seal from the seal retainer.

To re-install the new seal I used my bench vise and a plank of wood to drive the seal flush with the seal retainer. To seat the seal all the way in I found that a 2" PVC coupler is the right diameter to slip into the seal retainer, catch the lip of the seal and stiff enough to push the seal into place. Again I used my bench vise to apply even force.

Here is the parts break out for the MF-65 I describe. You'll have to determine if it is similar enough to be helpful. I hope it is.
