I own a 60's vintage Mott Model F4 flail mower and need to replace the leaking oil seals on the Warner gearbox. I have tried a suggested method of drilling a hole, inserting a sheet metal screw and gently levering it out.
This was done on both sides, opposite each other, to no avail; both screws broke out! I'm hoping someone will have suggestions. I read (somewhere) to apply heat from a hair dryer or heat gun. The writer said the fluids around the seals can dry up and cement the seal into the fitting. I can't get them to budge.
