Hi members,
looking at picking up my first red tractor this weekend, but the owner has discovered and disclosed what appears to be a leak behind the "brake drum" which is just behind the PTO clutch. Photo shows oil pooling at the bottom of the drum. Looks like seal 253-44 could be the culprit. I'm guessing this is a relatively easy fix, but if you have done this or have expertise/advice to share, I'd love to hear your thoughts before I make a deal. Thanks!
