Have a Frontier 2084 7’ rotary mower. 6 years old. Gets used maybe 6-8 hours a year.
This year when i go to hook up, there’s an oil trail out of front input shaft. It’s never leaked oil before. Never saw any leaks prior to putting it away last year.
Do you think seal got a leak sitting over winter? It did sit in a place that gets sun (heating /cooling cycles).
How do I test that “breather bolt” / oil fill plug on top of gear box works?
Is changing input seal hard?
I don’t know yet how fast leak is.
Btw: How often do most of you change rotary mower gearbox oil?
