Oil & Fuel MF 245 part leaks & what is it???????

[Scffle]

I'm in need of some experience. My 245 has a small oil leak where the throttle cable goes in the engine area. I removed the triangle looking cast and the setup inside is new to me. I made a new gasket and after about a month it leaks very slowly once again..... I included a picture if I'm not giving enough details. I really need to figure out how to get this fixed and to also figure out what the heck you call the thing.



Thanks a million in advance!

Looks like the tach cable to me, going most likely to the end of the camshaft to drive the cable.

Goto www.agcopartsbook.com and sign in as GUEST and lookup your tractor and find the tachdrive parts. DaButcher is correct. If the cable is leaking. Retighten the cable or replace it. If it's leaking behind the plate then the gasket needs replaced. Simple fix. Good luck -kid
