Leaking 1715

[Coyote1]

I noticed this week the rear end is leaking around the gasket where rear end bolts together it leaks about 5 or 6 drops a week. Looks like a big job to fix. It only has 50 hours and it should be under warranty. I can't decide to have it fixed afraid they could make it worse. I checked the bolt where it drips from it was tight.

At a minimum I would suggest everything is torqued to spec but if it continues to leak, something is not right. These tractors are produced on an assembly line and the possibility of an individual not applying sealant correctly or torque the bolts correctly is a reality. Get it fixed while under warranty, you don't want to find out down the road the casting has a small crack that gets worse over time.

I think I figured out where the fluid is coming from at first I thought is was the gasket where the rear end goes together but now I think it is leaking around the sight glass in the rear end and running down there to drip off.
