My YT200 mini tractor (from Weifang 2012) PTO seal is leaking. Can anyone provide advice on removal of the external bearing/seal housing? I've removed bolts and attempted to withdraw the housing over the PTO shaft, but nothing is moving and I'm wary of breaking something if I get too enthusiastic with the puller.

No response here so did some dismantling. Hydraulic reservoir needs to be removed to access the retaining nut on the PTO stub shaft. Removed the split pin, nut, then keyed gear and spacers ... and the external bearing/seal housing can be removed from the gearbox/diff casing. The PTO shaft was withdrawn from the assembly and the PTO shaft seal was found to be in pristine condition. The oil leak was actually from a torn gasket (poor factory assembly) between external bearing/seal housing and gearbox/diff casing. All parts were cleaned and lubricated and the dodgy gasket was reused with a liberal coating of aviation gasket sealant. Oil leak fixed!
