Hey guys,
I am Seeking sealant recommendations, my Branson 3510 was leaking around the fluid level site glass (rear of tractor).
I parked the tractor on a downhill slope to get all fluid away from the site glass. I pried the site glass out by using a knife around the edge. I cleaned the opening at the tractor and then cleaned the removed site glass (it is made from plastic) I resealed and reinstalled using Permatex ultra black gasket maker. I let that dry for 24 hrs. I used the tractor for several hours over the following two days, I thought it was fixed due to no more fluid leaking from around the site glass. That was about a week ago, today I noticed the leak has returned, although not yet as bad as the initial leak. The site glass is a press in (not threaded), has anyone gone through this and found a better sealant than the type I used?
Thanks, Mike
