Ford 1710 2/4 wheel drive and hydraulic oil dipstick cover gasket replacement

[ericoberg1]

So, I have been driving this tractor around for a few years, when it is warm, I see bubbles forming from under the 4 wheel drive shift lever. Blown gasket? Take the cover off, and see that the factory gasket was torn and crimped from the start.



The hydraulic oil in the sump looks a bit dirty and foamy, this leak many have contributed to that. Going to change the oil in a month.



All cleaned up and ready for action.
