Hey Guys,
I realize this would normally be more of an implement topic, however, since there seems to be more traffic on this forum, and this is where I tend to hang my hat, I figured on giving you guys the first crack at my problem.
Last year, TractorSam and I hauled a rather ratty though all-there 7' cut #27V out of the woods. Didn't get to use it last year, but this spring, as soon as the ground was firm enough, it was extracted for paint and general repairs. As I got into it, I found fewer problems than expected. Thel only remaining hurdle is the lift linkage, and I think I have an idea for that one. Im not doing a great restoration, mainly because time and money won't permit that right now...so Its getting a Rustcoat paintjob and a good going over. It'll work, look decent, and the paint will at least slow the progress of rust.
Anywho...As I went to put some parts back together, I filled the lower 'gearbox' full of oil. It promptly started leaking out of the seal between the gearbox and the back of the pitman shaft drive pulley. The gearbox was dry when I bought the tractor. Sam wagers that, while seals are available, this one may just be dry and need to soften back up again, so he suggested I fill the gear box, and run the mower for a while to see if the leak stops.
I only ask on here to see if there are any other methods for stopping the leak...sort of a stop-leak fluid for gearbox seals, sort of like whats made for radiators. Beyond that, does anyone think the run it and refill it method would work? Opinions, thoughts or suggestions, anyone?

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
