JD 6930 pto shaft leak

[czechmate]

Been mowing over the weekend and the old girl has taken to leaking around the pto shaft.
Is it much of a job?
TIA

Half an hour .

Punch something through the old seal and dig it out then tap the new one in .

As @KB6930 says, straight forward job, pop old seal out knock new seal in. Take care not to fold the seal lip over as it goes in, probably goes without saying but pulling the the stub shaft out make the job easier.

One trick of the trade, if you have an old hoover connect it to the oil filler, it will hold the oil on the tractor so it doesn’t p!ss out when you pull the seal. You can also put a trailer on and tip it up if no hoover is available but means your working around the drawbar. Beat getting covered in oil though or having to drop some out. ?

I climb rear wheels on 2 pieces of wood and no leaks while changing PTO seal. Sometimes its needed to push it down on TLS if it is 6030 Premium but most times 2 wood pieces do the trick.

I did have a trailer readily to hand
