Grinding Gears 2

[Mike]

Thanks Brian and Gerald earlier for your recommendations.

We have adjusted the clutch on the 'outside'(Pedal arm etc..), as well as trying to give a 6 second pause etc as suggested. No change in the condition.

I failed to mention in the earlier 'Post' that the engine is leaking oil from 2 seals....not sure how to say it here, but from the sump and then again where the gear box is attached; The oil is leaking on the ground when you stop the engine from both caskets. Perhaps some of this oil is mixing with the gearbox?

I read somewhere on the Forum that someone had changed these 'seals/caskets' before. Could you please, if you know, direct me to that solution.

Also....I would like to know how to attach photos to these 'posts'' so I can evidence the situation(as well as the mighty Dexta)

Have a great weekend

Mike....Aust.

If she is leaking that bad, how bad does she breathe?

You are going to have to remove the sump to replace the sump seal and gasket then split the tractor and change the crank seal but if she is getting crank case compression this would be a futile exercise.

Oil can get into the clutch but not get into the gearbox. It would not matter if it did as it should be the same oil grade.

I would suspect that you may be looking at a full engine / clutch overhaul.
