70D oil leak

[Andrew Psencik]

I have noticed an oil leak at the bottom of the pony motor underneath the pony transmission. I have also noticed the pony transmission engaging the starting wheel upon start up. It soon stops upon running for about 5-10 seconds. Oil in transmission is full. The attached picture is where the oil is accumulating (i have partially cleaned it before pic was taken). Also, The 3 pt. hitch wont stay up. Ive noticed another leak on the left side of the tractor coming from a plate with three bolts located under the brake drum. The leak there gets worse when i have an implement on the back of the tractor (obviously). THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR CONSTRUCTIVE INPUT AND HELPING ME SO MUCH WITH THIS TRACTOR. ON THE OTHERHAND, THOSE OF YOU WHO FEEL THE NEED TO RIDICULE ME, AND OTHERS ON THIS SITE FOR NOT KNOWING, DO NOT REPLY. THIS FORUM IS INTENDED FOR PEOPLE TO ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW. IT IS NOT A PLACE TO SHOW OFF YOUR SKILLS AND TRY TO MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE CRAP FOR NOT KNOWING. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

You should know that sounds like a dare.

Any oil slobbering from the starting engine airfilter?

 

[Andrew Psencik]

no, not that i can see. motor runs like a top. starts great. but, exhaust has some black spatter on lower water pipe.

The pony oil leak...honestly it could be too many things to guess...

There are numerous gaskets on the pony that could be drooling, including the flat "oil pan" cover on the bottom.

The rear crank seal on the pony could be bad (there'd likely be oil on the pony clutch too)

The pony transmission could be leaking, bad seals or gasket.

It could be a bad O-ring gasket between the pony oil drain and the diesel top cover, it would leak out oil whenever you drain the pony.

Or it could even be the diesel (not as likely) through a bad gasket on the top cover.

Lots of things I can't think of. Anything on the pony that leaks will end up on the bottom and probably drool out there.

Mainly, just keep watching your oil levels and see what goes down. Keep wiping it up to see if you can track it down.

The pony pinion spinning...Take the transmission covers off and then (with nothing running) engage the pinion to the diesel. Take a look at the little brake pad that the pinion rests against (when it's normally "in"). You might find that it's oily or greasy. Or you'll find that it's worn. Try to clean it with spray brake cleaner or something. That may help. It may not. Replacing it is usually what has to be done. But go through your linkages before getting too crazy, to make sure everything is adjusted properly. Unfortunately that is way too complicated to describe.

With the hydaulics....can't help there.
