hydraulic fluid on shifter cover

[bncsauve]

I have an LK2554 that works great. The only problem with it seems to be hyraulic fluid that puddles on top of the shifter cover after working the tractor for awhile. Its seems to come out from around the shift lever and not the pto lever. After several hours of work the whole plate is covered and starts to drip down the sides of the transmission. I have changed the fluid and it didn't help. I bought the tractor new. It didn't seem to do it for the first year or so. Any thoughts?

Bob,
Don't know if this will help. On my LK 3054 (94 model) I was getting oil on the shifter (located on the trans.) Pulled the lower trim piece off of the dash and tightened the steering column to the steering box joint (Big channel locks /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif). That fixed my leak. Hope it helps You.

Thanks Will, that's a good tip. I hadn't thought that it
might be coming from somewhere beside around the shift. I'll check it out.

we have seen them leak from the shaft and sometimes need some seals... if you need any of the seals just let me know. I usually keep all you need instock
