    TEA 20 oil leak

    Great, thanks again Bob, Now I see why the seal has to be a split one to get past that flangy thing on the end of the crank - I'd assume the split should be uppermost when the seal's fitted (& 'glued' with the magic goop)? From the other pic that spline for the input shaft looks...

    TEA 20 oil leak

    Thanks Steve, a lot more 'food for thought' you've given me. As you point out safety should always be the number one consideration so no way I'm going to separate two ends of machine without adequate support on both halves. Take the point about reconnecting & have experienced that...

    TEA 20 oil leak

    Now that's brilliant - best ideas always the simplest :-) And those jockey wheels are easily obtainable in any 'Repco' or 'Supercheap' - gives you support of the 'loose' end plus fine adjustment so important when reconnecting. Thanks Bob

    TEA 20 oil leak

    Thanks Bob, yes careful study of the whole area behind the flywheel before condeming the oil seal would be a good move. Rob,

    TEA 20 oil leak

    Thanks Charles - fixing plywood together would be good preamble - plus finding flatest place I can to station the timber "slab" Rob

    TEA 20 oil leak

    Sorry for doing this one to death but I have a worsening problem with my TEA 20. In truth the problem started months ago on delivery of the tractor. Very slowly & tentatively reversing it off the trailer cos it was only my second time at the wheel and seemed to be like going backwards off...

    Thanks Bob, thanks Charles, Now got myself a copy of the 'Instruction Manual' which is worth its weight in gold :) It has added a bit to my general level of confusion however since the third paragraph in the IM says "Do not attempt to pull from the top link connection." {presumably high on...

    Thanks again Bob, This info is so much better than my "Haynes" manual I waited three weeks for to turn up from UK. If I need to drop oil level to do the inspection I take it that the hexagon headed plug next to the gear lever is the refilling point? (Haynes woefully silent on this subject!)...

    Thanks Bob, the stay bars would fit but my 3PL bracket would get in the way of the part marked "1" in the diagram - but I guess this isn't necessary if I have the bracket doing the same job (mine is a 'Hayes Products' bracket from a supplier in Victoria Aus).

    Thanks Charles, I've emailed supplier about the positioner but the stay would be a good short term solution while I psyche up for the task of tinkering with the hydraulics.

    Thanks Sam - good idea about the limiting chains, I might give that a go. Regards, Rob

    Hi All, first time poster on here, complete newbie to tractors of any kind (unless you count the time at about age eight that someone plonked me on the driving seat of a Grey Fergie) and looking for some advice on my recently acquired TEA20 (only taken me 54 years to get back in that seat!)...
