leak of oil on PTO

[stefanu]

Hi, I am owner of a second hand B 7100 living in Corsica (France). Searching through the archive and gave me lots of interesting info and this was great help.
I have a leak of oil on the PTO .What can I do? and can I do it myself.
Thanks a lot...

stefanu, I believe there is an oil seal around the PTO shaft, and I've heard that it's pretty simple to replace, but since I've never done it or seen it done, I really don't know.

Which PTO? Rear or Mid?

I recently replaced the seal on my B2150 mid-PTO. The hardest part of the process was draining the hydrostatic fluid (nearly 5 gallons). I didn't have to take anything apart; the seal merely slid over the PTO shaft. After cleaning out all of the remains of the old seal, the replacement seal simply slid over the shaft back into place.

I would recommend changing the hydrostatic fluid and filter since it would be easy to contaminate the fluid.
