Finally broke the FECON

[QwikDraw]

Well I broke everything else it was just a matter of time. I was backing up and a 3-4 inch tree caught the edge of the fecon and was pulled over. It leaned on my case drain couplers and snapped the end of the male fitting off inside the female. There was no spraying since the case drain closed so I thought no big deal, until I got out and saw all the hydraulic oil coming out of the head. When the fitting closed it instantly blew the shaft seal from too much pressure.

How hard is it to change a shaft seal? I'm going to pull the motor out tomorrow and have to decide if I should change it or just bring it to the dealer?

If you are any kind of mechanic at all you should be able to change the seal yourself. I had many blow on my Fecon, I am a pretty proficient leak fixer after a year running the 140 for a year.
