What have you done to your Branson today?

So, they changed both crankshaft seals. Interesting why they changed the front one. I guess they know something, otherwise the company would not pay for it. Just a guess.

No, they changed the front differential input shaft seal and the rear main seal. They found the differential seal leak. I did not know it was leaking there.

Interesting if the main was also leaking or they changed it just incase.

Installed OEM rear remotes and hydraulic top link. now waiting for the hydraulic side link to arrive.

I picked up the tractor today and they did not change the rear main seal. They said it was just the front input shaft seal. They also replaced the bearing for it as well.

I suspect it will still leak when it gets hot but time will tell. Also the clutch is catching right at the bottom again so I will have to adjust it again. It tries to grab when fully pushed down. This concerns me as something has to be moving to make that happen. I will keep a close eye on things.

You might ask @Asteral to chime in on this. He’s the parts guy at Big Tex Tractor and he’s very knowledgeable.

Was this a kit? Where did you get it from? Thanks!

So it was the front diff pinion seal leaking and moving all the way back through the driveshaft cover and leaking on the cover plate with the cotter pin?

Wondering if the backplate between the engine and the bell housing is loose and causing issues.

Very well could be. The clutch adjustment issue started at the same time as the leak. Likely they are related. On another note they did pull the inspection plate. I know because they forgot to tighten the bolts and all have backed out with one missing.

I will have to get a bolt to replace the missing one and tighten it up.
