4320 Coolant Leak from Timing Cover advise please

[Rob REECE]

Thanks for this. I just ordered a new fan belt and tensioner today. I have everything disabled off the timing cover so tomorrow morning I will be pulling the front axle and oil pan. Another question after reading the service manual and it states I need alignment tool part jdg1660 for installing the timing gear cover? Is this needed?

Did you have to pull the radiator and what tech manual do you have. I have the same coolant leak also.

Yes, I pulled the radiator but i left the oil cooler and AC condenser? attached. I purchased the maintenance CD when I bought the tractor. The manual or one of the writeup's says to remove the engine i think. I can't remember. I just supported the front of the tractor on the 2 spindles for the loader frame. A previous question on the 2 bolts from the back side of the bellhousing. You need to remove them to get the oil pan off.

Rob REESE, look at brad5541 pictures. He has the tractor supported just like I did and he removed the radiator like i did.
