Mf-65 gas leaking hydraulic fluid

[Rkh]

My 65 year old mf-65 gas tractor is leaking hydraulic fluid from the vent hole underneath tractor. Is this a rear main seal & what is involved in fixing it?

Can't be a rear main seal if it's hydraulic fluid. It's more likely a front seal on the transmission input shafts. Still requires a split to access.

It could be leaking from this spot. Is this normal-is this been welded or JB Weld?

I've cleaned the area & will test tomorrow.

This is a MF 6 speed....(3 forward with H/L range)
NO Multi-power .
OIL SEALS had to be replaced on the Transmission and PTO input shafts.
IF the OIL SEALS have to be replaced......this is NOT a task to be undertaken with out a SERVICE MANUAL..
However,your Tractor,your $$$$$'s.

It's definitely not leaking around the 2nd picture-it's leaking around 1st picture with the little hole.

If it is hydraulic fluid, it is from the transmission. Check to make sure the transmission is not overfull.

It's not over filled.
