Let me share it with you because where you are headed, ya really don't wanna go. It's a total nightmare of a job. All those roll pins, shafts, linkages, etc. are gonna make you pull your hair out by the roots. Not to mention, if the shaft bores are wobbled out, it is still gonna leak when your are done anyway. :>(
This fix is not by the book, but it works and it will save you two days of cussin', screamin', spittin' and kickin the dog. :>)
This picture is taken from the right side of the tractor standing beside the levers (after the fix).
Take the seat off by removing those bolts at the lower rails. Then, take the remaining bolts out of the cover plate. Very gently lift that cover; if it has never been off of there you can probably even save the gasket too.
The cavity is going to be level full of oil. Clear up to the top.
Standing behind the tractor, you'll find that in the front left/centerish area of the cavity, there is going to be an approximately 2 1/2 or 3" X 3/8" pipe standing vertically.
Unscrew/remove that pipe and the oil will then drain down the 3" to the level where the pipe was screwed in.
See where I'm going with this?
The only purpose of that pipe is to keep the level of the oil clear up to the top of the cavity.........burying anything and everthing in there......including the lever shafts and those pesky, leaky o-rings.
Reinstall the cover plate, gasket and seat assembly. Go have a glass of iced tea 'cause yer done.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
