Rear Seal

Postby BullDAWG » Tue Jun 18, 2019 10:46 am

On my SA I keep seeing oil leaking out of the inspection plate on the torque tube. Its fresh clean oil so I think its from the rear main. Any tips, pics etc? Is there a newer style seal as I think the old one was rope type seal.?.?

If I have to split the tractor to fix seal I'll also replace the starter gear on the clutch as it has a worn spot on it and is missing a few teeth. Should I also replace the clutch once in there (my thinking is replace now so I don't have to split it again to do clutch later)

Can you determine for sure it is engine oil from the rear engine seal, and not gear oil from the front transmission seal? My SA needed a rear split to replace the front transmission seal, but it was mostly leaking from below the rear of the clutch housing.

It's definitely oil, my tranny oil is good but not as clean & fresh looking as this is. I just changed oil to 10W-30 synthetic. Tranny gear oil is a few years old with about 70 hrs on it.
