I recently pulled my tractor onto a concrete pad for the first time since I got it 3 months ago. I had seem some indications of oil under the front 4wd driveshaft housing. At first, I thought it was from excessive greasing of the stabilizer bar. On second look, though, it is coming from casing directly forward of the front u-joint.
Could the dealer that sold it to me have over-filled the case, or is there a seal in there that can go out. The tractor operates fine.
Also, the exact same seal in the back has the same problem(actually leaks a bit more).
The quantity of oil on the front is about 6 drops per week, and on the back, about 12.
Specifically, should I be worried, and tear it down, or should I just monitor the oil level rigourously?. The rear seal seems more difficult, but the amount of oil available is much larger(so it won't run out).
