Hi there,
Was using my 956 today and I noticed the smell of gear oil. Climbed out to have a look and found the rear rim covered in oil. The axle seal has obviously gone but what looks to be a steel ring on around the axle end is also torn and pushed outwards.
Is it just the seal gone or has something internal tried escaping? Seems pretty tough metal for that to happen to.
Guess I have to remove the trumpet housing and dismantle the final drive to get to the seal so I will probably find out on the way. Just dreading having it apart!
Just wondered if anyone has had similar happen as there hadn't been a hint of oil around it before.
