UTF Leak DK5510 Gear Shift

[Farming Physicist]

Hello,

My DK5510 has been leaking UTF from where the gear shift lever is mounted to the transmission. This only occurs when the front of the tractor is downhill. Apparently the mounting bracket has been known to leak at the ball-n-socket mount of the gear shift lever. My local dealer told me that I would need to remove the floor/foot pan to access and replace the part.

So far I have removed the seat, rear fenders and hood. The floor pan is loose, but it appears I need to remove the instrument console.

Has anyone else had this problem? Did you need to remove most of the operator's box to remove the floor/foot pan?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
