My JD 2030 has the cotter pin and it works. I've seen where the cotter pin was removed and mud dabblers filled the hole.
What is this hole on the transmission for? (JD 5085E)

If it is a bad seal in the trans, how hard/easy is it to split the tractor?
Are they going to be able to do it on a service call or will they want it to be taken to the dealer's shop?

Most technicians will want tractor at dealer shop for a split.

Called another local dealer today, since my other dealer is too busy and won't get back to me.
They are coming to pick up the tractor tomorrow. The service manager I talked to said he's seen several 83E's and 85E's with the same problem, and its a leaky seal on the front end of the transmission. He said the seal doesn't sit in there very tight, and sometimes they leak. None that he's fixed have leaked again.

Oh, sorry. :ashamed:
Tractor was returned last Friday. Total of 7 business days at the dealer.
No more leaks!

Transmission input shaft seal (On the engine side) was not set right and as a result was allowing engine oil to leak around it.
