I have a2040 that was pushing oil up the steering post and pushing out the top seal.I put in a seal kit but I have the same problem. any suggestions

I'll think you need to replace the o-rings(parts key 33)

I have replaced all the orings from the kit

Make sure no 33 is in the right place .....all 6 of them !

Yep #33 o-rings are a little pesky to get in the "CORRECT GROOVES".

If your lucky it should take you 40 min for those 6 o-rings

If your lucky it should take you 40 min for those 6 o-rings

Is that 40 min with housing still bolted to tractor or housing on work bench?

 

[DLTTrekkers]

Removed from tractor .....striped....cleaned ......old o-rings removed .......then 40 min to fit all 6 of them if your lucky

 

[Tx Jim]

I've read on the internet of tech's replacing the 6 o-rings with housing still attached to tractor. That would be a PITA!!!!!!!!
