YM 2210D - Leaking front spindle gasket

[wfreebie]

I have a leak at the top of the front spindle housing plate. Not a master mechanic, but it looks like it should be fairly simple(?). Not sure what the drive shaft is going to do when I remove the plate bolts. Iinput? Advice? Thanks much!

Have you looked at these part drawings. Not sure just where your leak is. Can you pin point it? Also, here is an article on knuckle seal replacement. Yanmar Tractor Parts: 4WD EXTERNAL

Thanks winston1. I think the gasket I'm wanting to replace is #33 in your YM 4WD EXTERNAL link.

If that is the gasket all you have to do is remove the bolts holding that cover, pull in off, spindle and all will come out with it, clean surfaces and put a new gasket on. I would be sure to clean everything real good and assure that is where the leak is at. That seems an unusual place for a leak to occur. Not saying it isn't leaking there, just saying make sure before proceeding.

Thanks for the iinput. I will be sure to isolate the leak first. It looks like it's coming from the top of the plate. But, it's possible that it's coming from up above. Thanks again.
