In Reply to: Oil leaking from starter on Case VAC posted by Dave on February 16, 1998 at 22:15:34:
: Recently I noticed oil leaking from around the starter on my 1952 Case VAC. Could this be the result of a defective seal between the gear box and the rear end? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
If your VAC is anything like my VAC or VAI it can not be a leak between the gearbox and rearend.
More likely a leaking seal at the rear of the engine. Behind the engine is the fllywheel, clutch and, depending on the type of lift, a gear case for the belt pulley/hyd oil. Being a new model VAC, yours
may not have high pressure hyd system. Look at the bottom of the casting just behind the engine and
see if oil is leaking out there. D.O.N.
