I know nothing about tractors.....

Post by brinky »

]Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and new to the world of tractors.
Having recently bought a diesel major, 1952 I was told, there are a few jobs that need doing.
There are a few small oil leaks, the worst one is from a lever which I have no idea what it does, the leak comes from where the lever goes in and out of the body.

Not sure how to post pics, or if link will work
Is ther a seal that needs replacing or is it not that simple?
Thanks

That is the PTO selector lever. Yes it is just a seal that can be fitted quite easily. I have only just bought one myself from Old 20 Tractor Parts. Google for their web site.
