I HAVE BOUGHT A 1963 GAS MF-35 W/MULTI-POWER THE TRACTOR RUNS GREAT BUT IT HAS A HYDRAULIC LEAK. IT IS LEAKING FROM THE WEEP HOLE ON THE BELLY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT NEEDS TO BE SPLIT AND THE SEALS REPLACED AT THE TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT. HAS ANYBODY DONE THIS AND WOULD IT BE THAT HARD TO SPLIT AND DO AT HOME? I ALSO PLAN TO REPLACE CLUTCH AND THROW OUT BEARING WHILE APART IF NEEDED. ANY ADVISE WOULD HELP.

THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS.

HEY THANKS GUY!! THAT IS ALOT OF GOOD INFORMATION. WOULD IT HURT ANYTHING TO RUN THE TRACTOR IN MULTI-POWER LOW FOR THE SEASON AND THEN WORK ON IT OVER THE WINTER?? HOW LONG DOES THE REPAIR TAKE???

I AM A CITY TRANSPLANT TO THE COUNTRY AND NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET WITH THE TRACTOR THING. I LOVE TO WORK ON OLD CARS BUT THE TRACTOR THING IS A DIFFERENT BEAST!!!!! !

I understand that running in low MP reduces oil flow in the transmission. Extended operation in low MP may cause transmission or multi-power failure? Again I understand that you should operate in high MP and when lugging through a tuff spot down shift MP until you get through that spot. If the proper operating speed seems to be low MP then you likely need to down shift so that your in high MP again. That is my understanding, others may know better. Big Dean is an excellant source for these questions. For example I know the weep hole is suppose to leak some fluid as a course of normal operation. I don't have a clue as to what "too much" might be.
Good luck.

The steps are posted on Dean's site, along with some pertinent info on this type of leak on his homepage. Splitting it's the easy part, getting it back together with everything lined up and not damaging the clutch or the transmission is the spicy part. Just finished doing it myself a week ago(Did some clutch work, didn't replace seals), it takes all the equipment and steps Dean reccomends.

If you remove the clutch, you'll need a specialized pilot tool to line it back up. The manuals also recommend an assortment of other specialized tools (dependant on what type of clutch you have)to set the clutch release lever bolt height and PTO plate limit bolt height. Dean can email you instructions for setting the release lever height without having the tool. You can set PTO plate bolts with feeler gauges, however, the pilot tool is a must. I borrowed mine from an uncle, you may be able to borrow or rent one from a service center. Probably wouldn't be too prohibitive to have one machined, the old I & T manual I used has a diagram for it.

I'm not trying to talk you out of it, it's not that bad, just have the necessary tools before you start.

Did mine last winter on a MF165. You will have to split the tractor twice if it is like mine. There are two sets of seals on the input shafts. One set on the trans input shaft and one on the PTO input shaft. You will need to have a tech manual, if you email me I can sent you some pictures.

Its not hard to do provided you are on a concrete floor and have a trolley jack. You do need to wedge the front axles either side to stop engine rocking from side to side when you separate it from rear axle. Are you sure its a gearbox seal and not the engine rear seal? It can be done without any trouble after tractor is split by taking the flywheel off.
