Hello,
New to this forum and new owner of a Yanmar Tractor that I aquired from a friend and don't know much about it. It appears to have been repainted JD Green and says 1401 on hood. It is 4x4 and has a 3 cyl engine. Seems to run good but I noticed that the rear axle seals appear to be leaking pretty good, oil is running out where the axle goes into the case. It appears that there a seal or bearing seated in the case there that was painted over. I was hoping someone could tell me the best way to fix it. I have tools and can work on things, but it appears that the axle may have to be pulled to get this thing fixed properly and I don't want to start tearing into it until I get some advice.
