MF30 Oil pan reseal

[grossorob]

I have an MF30 with the perkins diesel and its pouring oil from the pan. I found a comment on how to remove it that Im going to paste here. Im going to try it this weekend to see if it can be done this way, if not Ill have to split the tractor

Comment:

according to the service manual, the timing gear cover must be removed for removing the oil pan.
Removing the timing gear cover, 1) the water pump with hoses and fan belt
2) crankshaft pulls 3) engine beather pipe 4) upper and lower halves of timing gear cover.
Of course it needs new gasket

You can reseal the oil pan without splitting the engine from the transmission, as seen in the video the only big thing is getting the front axle assymbly out of the way. Use a floor jack under the oil pan when dropping it.
