MY neighbor has a JD2150,,it has started leaking oil out the top of the steering column,,I have been told there is a seal at the top of column, any help appreciated
Every seal in it will need to be replaced if he has a chance of stopping the leak. I tried replacing just the six o-rings in the top side and it lasted all of 1 day. Had to get another kit and completely disassemble the thing. There's a video on YouTube of a guy removing one and rebuilding it. He needs to watch it. It's not an easy job.MY neighbor has a JD2150,,it has started leaking oil out the top of the steering column,,I have been told there is a seal at the top of column, any help appreciated
One doesn't have to remove valve housing from tractor similar to U-tube video to install seals. Remove steering wheel then remove large nut then set steering wheel back on shaft,turn steering wheel CCW& shaft with valves will come out of housing. Then the 6 large o-rings can be replaced being careful to get o-rings in proper locations. If valves & other components are removed from shaft be sure & document proper location of shims & valve bodies.
