MF 165 Hydraulic Leak

[Tatertot]

The tractor started pouring hydraulic fluid from around the starter. Any ideas??

How long have you had it? Is it coming from the starter hole or just in that area?

is it a multi power ? there is a valve in the clutch housing, also a hydraulic pipe

It is coming from the starter hole and it does have multipower.

Its most likely the input shaft seal, which is under pressure with multi power fitted, although it may be an o ring on the MP valve or a blown or loose hyd line, in any event you will need to seperate tractor at clutch housing to access. make certain it is an internal leak though before going to this stage, there are MP hydraulic lines just behind the starter on top of bell housing. Good luck

It is internal. I have a mechanic that is going to work on it this week. I'll let you know the outcome.
