I have a 4' Howse rotary cutter that is leaking from the input shaft seal. How hard is it change the seal? Does any one know of a service manual that shows how to replace the seal?
Hunting season is fast approching and I need to start cutting the food plots!

Don't know your RC but generally speaking there is often a plate around the input shaft with several bolts (maybe 5 or so)
You unbolt them and the plate slides off. Tap the seal out, put the new seal in and bolt it back up. I just did one last month and don't think it took more than an hour from unhooking it from the tractor to it was back on.
Good luck
