Well, today I hooked the old ih 1300
sickle mower to the 530 to cut some
ditches. As usual I checked the pto fluid
before using the pto, and to my dismay
was greeted with the smell of
the new gear oil I put in the gearbox a
couple weeks ago. I know this is a common
problem, and have found the needed seal,
but I'm just wondering how much of a job
it is to get to the darn thing. Do I just
have to remove the cover or does the
whole rear end gotta come off? On an
unrelated note it also seems the fresh
gear oil found a place to leak out around
the right side brake. Just a gasket there
i hope? Any special tools I need besides
a complete set of ratchets and sockets
and prybars?
