- I have an orchard MF 135 and a MF 50C Backhoe
This 135 orchard I just bought, it sat for around 3 years. When I bought it, I didn't see any issues as far as leaks, but after a few hours of use, I see a couple leaks. One appears to be the front crank seal, the other is oil creeping out between the engine and the clutch, which at least could be the rear crank seal, I believe. I asked Bundy Bears on youtube about it, whether it was something that need to be dealt with asap or could be ok until I could get to it. He responded if both were leaking I could have blow by. I know basically what that means, but I don't know what that could mean? Thoughts here, if both seals appear to be leaking do I need to break it apart and fix those asap or are odds are its because it sat for three years and as long as I keep the oil topped off it should be ok for a while? I did check the oil pressure, it's runnin in the 40-55 lb range at pretty much all times. Thoughts?
Thanks
