Trans/Hydro Fluid Leak

I took a break from sanding my fenders to finally take a look at where my tractor is leaking trans/hydro fluid. I have a drain pan under it because it seemed to be leaking from everywhere in the back. I cleaned it up really good and waited to see where it was coming from. It seems to be coming from only one spot. It leaks from the pin where the lower arm of the 3 point hitch attaches to the tractor. Does anyone know if there is a seal around that pin and what it is going to take to change it? I haven't looked too close at it yet but I am hoping I won't have to take the whole rear end apart to get it out of the case.

The pin is a taper fit into the housing, you have a nut on the inside you have to get to to. It is easiest to remove the left side to get to it, don't know of any other way to really do it.

Thanks, I had a bad feeling that was going to be the answer. Maybe just leaving it will keep the bottom of the tractor oiled up and help in rust prevention. (Just kidding, its making too much of a mess to leave it).

Thanks Ken, a picture is worth 1000 words.

Will I need any special tools to set the rear end gears back up?

Looking at your picture, it appears that the hole is not wallowed out any so it could just need tightening..

Nope, they slide in and out..You need to remove the left trumpet to get at it and you can do both while you are in there..:trink39:

The job is not that bad, can be done in a day easy if you have your gaskets and parts handy.

Thanks all, this doesn't sound too bad. I will start to gather all the parts so I can do my brakes, inner/outer seals and take care of this leak all at once.
