Ford 1715 seal leaking by driveshaft

shoein · Nov 10, 2022

I have a ford1715 that is leaking at the transmission where the driveshaft meets it, hydraulic fluid is almost pouring out. Not sure what the seal is called or how to replace it. Have tractor repair manual but can’t find this in manual. My searching skills are letting me down. Thanks for any help.

Messicks has some very nice exploded views, you can poke around their site to see what seal you think is leaking, here is just one example:

My 1720 has 2 seals, one around the driveshaft stub in the drop box and an o-ring on the seal housing. There's also an o-ring seal on the driveshaft cover but it's for dust and doesn't keep oil in. If it's set up the same way, you need to remove the driveshaft, then there's 2 bolts for the seal housing. Pull that and the driveshaft stub seal and housing o- ring will be accessible. Obviously you would need to drain the trans first

Thank you, I was hoping to have parts available before hand but I will tear into it this week. I have been looking at messicks diagrams but can’t seem to find the right part. Hopefully when I have it apart it will make more sense to me. Thanks again

It’s not your search ability, the diagram is missing for a 1715. The 1710 diagram should be the same - Schematic, Manuals, Specifications and Diagrams for 4wd gears - 1310,1510, 1710 New Holland AG | MyCNHi US Store

Tractortech: that link comes up for me with only a parts list?
Here's the 1710 Messicks diagram. Looks like the seal housing #28 has one anchor bolt #29, two o-rings #27, and your seal #26.
Set up same as my 1720
