vermeer 5400 rebel

[derrick1115]

vermeer 5400 rebel clogs sometimes and makes a racket. Noticed the pto gearbox is leaking oil around the seal. can somewhere tell me where i can add gear oil to the gearbox. Sometimes i can cycle the pto and it will stop making a noise or dump the bale out and it stops making a noise. anybody got any ideas what it could be

had a problem with a m&w baler last year and the first of this year. sounded like the chain was slipping on the sprockets. kept baling lighter bales and wasnt so bad. it has a dog clutch that seemed to be in adjustment. after cleaning it and closer looking saw the jaws were rounded over and too much pressure would push them apart making the jumping sound. new dog clutch cured my problem. M&W only one i know a little about. yours might not even have one.
