I just got my new B2650. I was clearing out the side yard of weeds and little trees. There were some really small stumps sticking up about a foot or so. They were maybe an inch or so wide. I backed up over them and heard a noise. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I could smell something. I figured it was the newness of the tractor after working for a while. Then I looked on the ground and saw some oil. I park the tractor for the night and the next day I saw a small puddle of oil on the garage floor underneath the back of the tractor under the seat area. I crawled underneath and I could see the bottom was a little wet with a extremely slow drip. I also noticed one of the UDT filters had a small dent in the side like something smacked it. I wiped everything down and checked the UDT fluid and it was low. I had to add maybe a pint. I crawled back under later and that drip came back. The UDT filter is tight, but on the inside of the filter close to the transmission was a little wet again.
I'm wondering if the oil filter seal got damaged when the tree stump hit it. The filter is still very tight, but is it possible that the seal got damage or possibly the filter where it mates up to the transmission is not true now? I can't see where oil is leaking anywhere else.
I am going to replace the filter since that is all I can think of where it could be leaking, but how can I change the filter without losing any UDT fluid? I thought about the vacuum trick, but wasn't sure how well that worked. Also, I cannot find the oil filter part number in my manual, so I have to find out the part number to order the new filter if that is what is causing the problem. I can't see what else it could be.
The first picture is the oil filter where it mates with the tranny.
The second picture is the small puddle of oil.
The third picture is where you can see the drip on the bottom left of the picture. You can see the oil filter in question in the top right of this picture.
The fourth picture is the filter. You can make out the dent on the bottom of the filter.
