I have a 72" Sovema finish cut mower, it seems to be pushing gear oil out of the filling plug on the gear box.....both the drain & the filler plug are tight.
so here are a couple questions someone may be able to answer
1) is the gear box supposed to be vented through the filler plug (i.e. the gear box was overfilled at the factory & is just leaking out the excess through the vent)
2) if the box is not vented, what can I use to seal the threads on the plug?
thanks
