Jimmy0331 27 #1 Posted October 22, 2020 So I just acquired a 1986 308-8. Looks like the oil seal is leaking pretty bad is that seal on the outside of the case or inside. I assume I need to use puller to remove that crank pulley? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,338 #2 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Yes you have to have a small puller to get those seals out which is easy. You should definitely make an investment in a puller. I love the sound of those old eight. tell us some more about your tractor and Edited October 23, 2020 by The Tuul Crib Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy0331 27 #3 Posted October 23, 2020 Paid 50 bucks for it. Couldn’t resist. Another one for my beginnings of a collection. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TractorChild97 158 #6 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Awesome tractor! same amount I gave for my 308! But yours is in way better shape. Hopefully its just a leaky seal. Great find! Edited October 23, 2020 by TractorChild97 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richmondred01 2,274 #8 Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Those little M8’s you cant beat. You will love it. Make sure you take note on how deep the original seal is in the block. Additionally, clean the area before removal and check for any burrs on the crank. All the best. Edited October 23, 2020 by richmondred01 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy0331 27 #9 Posted October 23, 2020 Ok cool thanks. Do you use a 3 jaw puller? I just don’t want to damage pulley. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
