L3800 leaking rear end oil

F2036 · Jul 18, 2012

My L3800 4x4 HST with 77 hours on the meter has started leaking oil. It is comming from the the seal between the left (range lever side) axel assembly and the center section of the rear end. Have any of you guys had this problem? What did it take to fix it? Is there a flat rate price on fixing this at the dealers shop? I'm not sure I want to tackle this myself, if it were an older tractor I would give it a try.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.

I've never heard of this problem. You should still be under warranty...

Well, I jumped to soon on this one. I had a hyd hose that had a pin hole leak and was spraying hyd oil here and there. Sure glad that was the problem and nothing more serious.
