Ford 555 backhoe leaking transmission oil ????

[lynn_florida]

I was using my 555 backhoe today it has tranny with no clutch just forward and reverse lever. It started leaking oil out of access plate on tranny . The one with 4 bolts and plate comes off and you can see torque converter. Any ideas is it dead and how complicated to repair any suggestions will be helpful. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sounds like the converter seal. Tractor may need splitting, and seal replaced. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
