super 55 pto leak

[Gary O]

3 years ago I rebuilt the tranny on the 55. All new bearings and seals. last year the thing started to leak pretty bad from the inspection hole under the pto. I split it again and replaced the pto hub seals thinking that was the problem because the set screw came loose and allowed the hub to come partially out of the spider hub. When I pushed it back on the rubber in the seal came off. It's back together and leaking as bad or worse than before. Any ideas what I could have missed?? Are there other seals I need to look at??

It has been a while like probably 40 years, but is your tractor's transmission code a 518 or 519. The seals are different.

Where do I find the code? I'll check it tonight and send the number. I do know the tractor serial# starts with 12 so it's 12 xxx. Maybe that will help. Thanks for the quick reply.

The number is the last part of the serial number. There will be 5 digits a dash and 3 digits. The last 3 digits are the trans code. Either 518 for early tractors or 519 for the later tractors. There are more trans numbers for special equipment like a 4 speed forward and 4 reverse.

Your tractor is the 518 code. Make sure you order the correct parts.
