B275 brake leaking

[Guigui]

Hi, I just noticed today that I have a big leak from the right brake cover on my B275. I assume it is the seal behind it that is leaking (on the bull shaft I think)

How involving it is to replace it? a lot I think

And anyone have the part number for that seal?

In order to replace that seal the pinion housing needs to
come out. In order to get it out the bull gear must be
dropped which requires the axle to me removed. Quite a
big job.

That is pretty much what I thought. Still no choice really, it is leaking pretty bad. I would also think it is taking water from the shifter or somewhere, I changed the gear oil a few weeks ago and it is already milky

A picture si worth a thousand word they said

How well did you clean it out, it can take a few changes
or a flush to get all the water out. I think the gear shift is
the most likely culprit but condensation can bring in a
huge amount of water as well in a humid climate with
fluctuating temperatures.

Thanks for the information. Anyway as it seems I will have to take almost half of the tractor apart to change the seal, I might as well change the seal of the shifter

Thank you all, I will try to source the seals at my local stealership and I will try to document the job with many pictures as I do it
