Massey 590 turbo 4wd front axle

[john smith 124]

I’ve got a leak coming from the seal between the front transfer case and the front differential. Where can I get the seal between them and is the oil in the front transfer case shared with the front diff, because I can’t find a fill plug for the front transfer case. Pictures are attached below. On a side note, does anyone know where I can get the brake light switch for the 590, I’m 16 and have my tractor driving test in 2 days and the switch has gone bad. Thanks

It is only an oring in there but I guess the housings will be worn so even a new one might not seal.
Yes the oil for the axle and drop box are shared.
A common switch in its day. Motor factor may be able to help or your local massey dealer.

The brake lights are temporarily fixed for now using a bicycle brake caliper and a push switch and cable. Is there anyway to stop the oil leak as it is dripping when parked at a rate of 1 drip per 5 or so minutes which can build up quite the oil pool after a few days.

What oil are you using?. Try something thicker.
