    Draft Linkage Seal

    Not sure the title is totally correct but I have a leak that started in the transmission case where the draft linkage lever goes in. Looks like one bolt holding the linkage to the shaft. Anyone had this and how hard to fix? 2013 DK40SE HST

    OK, So I have typical symptoms of a fuel issue with one exception. First the symptoms Tractor bogs down when under a load, going up a hill and/or brush hogging, to the point it will die if I keep pressing it. Even a sharp turn (guessing steering pump load) will bog down the rpm's when brush...
