Replacing the Hydrostatic
Transmission Shaft Seals
Seal Replacement, Ingoing Shaft
Remove the cooling fan, it is held by a circlip.
Remove the belt pulley from the ingoing shaft
by pulling it upwards and then removing the
circlip under the pulley.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The area around the seal must be abso-
lutely clean! If the hydrostatic transmis-
sion's oil becomes contaminated by dirt it
can shorten the life of the transmission.
1. Clean the ingoing shaft and the area
around the seal from all dirt and rust.
Insert a screwdriver between the seal
and the shaft and pry off the seal from
the shaft housing with a twisting motion.
2. Wind the insulating tape around the
ingoing shaft in order to protect the new
seal from damage from splines and
grooves. Begin winding from the bottom
and continue upwards along the shaft
until the entire shaft is wound in tape.
Lubricate the shaft and the inside of the
new seal with lubricant so that the seal
slips on smoothly.
