A Small Leak

[Kioti4me]

I brought my tractor home to work on the 50 hour maintenance and discovered it has sprung a small leak. See pictures. The dealer is coming to get the tractor on Friday. They were as supprise as I when I call them about it. Has anyone had this problem? You can't see it to well in the pictures, but theres gasket material coming out on the right side and left side.

The close in shot makes it hard to tell what the part is. I think it is at the back of the tractor. If so, the rear lubrication, and hydraulics may just be overfull. However, this is just a guess.

Then again, if this is the front axle, the fluid (hydraulic or 90W), may just be overfilled. The font axle is either filled to a level one can see through a peep hole, or filled to the bottom of the weep hole. On my CK35, the weep hole is located on the "driverside" axle about 2/3s the way up.

It's at the back of the tractor by the gray filter. It's where the front and the back of the tractor come together. Major problem? I'm not sure.

Holy smokes! Mine is doing the same thing only is has 800 hours and the puddle is bigger. The leak appears to be from that joint between the transmission and the rear end. I am very interested to find out how this goes as mine has been leaking for months. I am thinking that my hydro fluid reservoir is overfull somehow. This is not a pressure leak, it will leak at the same rate whether the machine is running or not. So far it has just made a mess but no change in operation.

Thanks for the heads up.

I looked at my 2005 ck30hst, maybe a little damp seepage there but nothing really.

I plan to tighten those bolts a bit if they need it.

I seen it before..
If you ask me I would say that the hst charge pump steel pipe o-rings are leaking.

 

[jim_n_nh]

Any service bulletins covering this?

 

[Highbeam]

Wallace, which O-rings are they? Are they external? Can't tell from the diagram which seal you think is the culprit.

The one I did a few years ago was #12
