Oil leak

[DaveBN]

I'm working on the tractor made into a sky lift. We suddenly have a pool of oil under the rear end. Looks to be leaking between the transmission and rear end housings. I will post a poor picture of that area and what I hope is the oil fill and level check on the right side of the transmission. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the poor pictures.

Better picture of what I hope is the transmission fill and level check.

Level will be on the side of transmission housing. Fill is normally on gearshift cover on top of trans. Ill John on here has a sky lift he can tell you exactly where check points are. If I am seeing right in your first picture the trans and rear end has a gap. Bolt that up tight before you try to put fluid in it.

Thanks mmdel. Here is a picture of the beast. Any info on it would be appreciated.

Hi DaveBN, I have a Brickbuggy just like the one you pictured. Mine is serial number 103, model 450. The basic tractor is a Jetstar Industrial origionally. Mine has a Jetstar 3 gas serial number 28301576 and has a 445 engine in it. Must have had a rough life. The trans fill and check is on the right side of the trans case. It's a square head pipe plug, i believe 3/4 pipe thread. The plug you show is the amplitouque clutch adjusting hole. You can use it to fill, but the level is the pipe plug. I believe MM called this chassis a "Package 77". Yours is a nice looking unit. You also have the extra height lift on the forks which mine does not. [email protected] if you need to talk. Brian Gonyea over Detroit way probably has more technical info than I do. I'd be interested in your serial numbers, for the tractor and the lift. The lift tag is at the top/front of the boom on the left side on mine. Jetstar Industrial tractors serial numbers start with 30800001-30800191, 1966-1967 John

Thanks John, I'll be working on it again this afternoon. I will check serial numbers and let you know

John, where would I find the serial number?

John, where would I find the serial number?
Dave

Right side on transmission housing. Infront of brake pedals.

 

[DaveBN]

I could not find a serial number on this unit, sorry guys.

The tags on the tractor are 3"x5", one on the engine, and one on the right side of the trans case. If it has an engine tag we can tell what year and what it was originally in

 

[DaveBN]

Ok, I will look.

I found one of these for sale
Any idea what one weighs? TIA

My brother has one only it’s based on a ZB. Anyone have an idea of it’s value. The way it sits right now I’m thinking not much more than scrap if that tells you what shape it’s in. The lift worked well the last time it ran but the tractor itself is a mess.
