Replacing transmission seals.

Post by Tom P »

My major has a live PTO and both seals need replacing. The large one aound the large spline is easy enough but the little one between the transmission shaft and the pto shaft (E1ADKN-7052-A) is another story. From what I can see in my parts diagram the whole housing needs to come out. Am I thinking correctly or is there a simpler way? Could I hook it and pull it out then slide the new one in? Some reason it's never that simple!

Thank you!

Tom

Tom,

Your right. You have to take the whole housing from under the tractor.
On the old board as well on this board there are topics about it with a drawing for a special tool to fix it. You need a double lipped seal.
Sliding it back is a hard job. Don’t use force.
Kind regards, Henk

Hoik it out! There is a roller bearing behind it so be careful but the seal just pulls out. Make sure you lubricate it well when you put it back as you are working against the lip as it goes into position.

Think we are in the clutch area Henk. :D

Think its the little seal between the input shaft for the gearbox and the input shaft for the PTO drive in the clutch housing.

The splined shafts that fit into the dual clutch.

Yes Brian, That's the one. In your earlier reply you said to "hoik" it out. That will be the plan tonight. I will have to make some sort of "Hoiking Hook". I will probaly order 2 of those seals, in case I mess one up. If everything goes well maybe I will shove that one in also. Looks like there is plenty of room.
