Removing 3 pt cover then removing spring pin to get shift lever out of trans case to renew o-ring and reassemble in a very hard to access place. A very difficult task.

Thanks for the help. Will keep y'all posted. Anything else I need to know about these little tractors?? Are they reliable?
Very reliable tractor. Bought one in 1972 and still running good today. Good to use for grading, bush hogging, cutting and raking hay, etc. o ly real problem rear hydraulic leak as mention by others but not a major issue. Agree need two good batteries. What is overall condition of tractor? If you decide you don't want to keep it, let me know for I might be interested.
I remember when I sold those 3 cyl 820's when they were new. First tractors I had sold that were built in Germany and I was very skeptical. They turned out to be very good tractors just deliver them & forget them hardly ever any warranty work was performed on them.
I will let you know. The tractor is in fairly good shape. Sheet metal is decent just missing battery cover and side screens. It has a new clutch that was installed three years ago. It spent most of its life on a ballpark running a finishing mower. Overall it's decent. It does have turf tires on the rear and will be looking to replace them with regular tractor tires. If anyone knows where I can maybe get the sheet metal parts I need let me know thanks.
Every now and again you can find leads on on E-Bay. Ascension Equipment in Gonzales can get new but oh so pricey.
Look at All States AG Parts ( https://tractorpartsasap.com) and Yesterday's Tractor ( www.yesterdaystractors.com) both have sheet metal parts for the 3 cylinder (German) 820. I was looking for fenders for mine and saw the battery box cover.
