I have a Leinbach post hole digger that the seal leak like a screen door. It is the normal sized unit which I think is rated to 40hp.
I pulled most of it apart and am having a problem with finishing the disassembly. I have the top off and got the "large" gear out but don't know how to get the small gear and post out. The small one is the one that the PTO shaft connects to. The shaft has a seal on the outside that is installed crocked. It still turns fine but really leaks and leaks bad. It also appears to be a tapered bearing of some sort. I thought the PTO post will drive in but I tried that several times without success. On the inside I have the gear so it will not go through to the outside and I figure it would be hard to seat it from the inside to it only makes sense that the whole shaft must go inward to be removed. I also have NO idea how to remove the seal(also tapered bearing maybe). I also was wondering where I should get the new seals since I can't find anyone around here that has a clue to where I can buy them. Any help would be great!!!!
Thanks!!!
