Hoping JD Seller will weigh in on my leaky hydrostatic. I purchases this tractor used a few years ago. I think it's a 1997. Got it because it has a 30 inch tiller and 48 inch mower which I use mower for trim work. The hydrostatic rear end has been leaving oil on barn floor and getting worst. It cooled down a little, so I took it apart yesterday, oil all over the place. I cleaned it, filled it with oil. It sat over night and not a drop of oil. I put it back in tractor, removed tires, pushed on clutch peddle so the rear wheels were moving and ran it wide open for an hour, not a drop. As you may notice, I used a high tech leak detector, paper shop rags packed in every place I thought it could leak. All were dry.
It would leak a good ounce or more after 30 minutes of use. So why no leaks? The only thing different is it's not bouncing around in the yard, it sitting on the concrete pad. Is it possible my problems is with the vent on top of the hydrostatic and oil was splashing out? I hope so, but my luck it will start leaking now it's back together.
