Jerzey76 0 #1 Posted Monday at 12:14 PM I have a 1971 electro with Hydrostatic Transmission. It started to leak along the seals so I decided to take apart the transmission. I am at the point now of trying to take apart the gear box and it will not budge. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have used an hammer and side of an old putty knife to split the transaxle case 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerzey76 0 #5 Posted Tuesday at 01:17 AM The gasket for the housing is leaking. I have removed the seals for the trans axel already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have removed the seals for the trans axel already It may be that the motion control o rings are leaking...it runs down the front of the transaxle and drips off the center of the bottom making you think the the transaxle gasket is bad.. honestly the case gasket is not a common failure point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerzey76 0 #7 Posted Tuesday at 03:09 PM First, I want to say thank you for your suggestions. I am a novice when it comes to this and flying by the seat of my pants. The leak was forming by the hitch pin and then underneath the box was leaking as well. I will show pictures when I get the chance. Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
