YIKES!!!!!!

Posted by RoninKS on November 10, 2006 at 23:23:52 from (24.225.2.83):

Well, I moved my recently aquired Super M out of the garage yesterday and parked it on a slight slope (front of the tractor lower than the rear) along my driveway.
About four hours later I walked up to get it, and I noticed "RED" oil under the tractor on the grass and on the left tire and rim.
I've now come to the conclusion that someone must have previously dumped some automotive "transmission fluid" in the SM transmission and differental, and it was thin enough to seep past the oil seal and leak out around the dust cover behind the "lift-all pump" while parked on the slope.

I'm wondering if the oil seal has been damaged by the automotive transmission fluid (no idea of how long it's been in there), or, if it will still hold 90# gear lube.

What do you folks think????

I'm certainly not looking forwards to replaceing the oil seal.

Thanks,
RoninKS
