Hi, i am pretty disappointed today. Went out this evening to check on tractor and found hydraulic fluid again leaking from the right rear brake housing.
Just where yesterday i posted that i had fixed the problem with an oil seal replacement.
So i guess i have to open it up again and do it all again.
My question to you guys is if you look at the copy of the page from parts list manual below
Looks to me like i may not have got to the root cause of the problem.
Is it likely that the bearing on the inside of the rear drive is so worn that its causing the failure of the oil seal, thinking that the shaft is rotating around in an orbit in the seal rather than just turning on its center.
What part does the sleeve play, should i have replaced this too?
I feel lost. Really took a great deal of care putting the new sleeve in , i do have a bunch more on hand so seals are not a problem but i am now worried that i have another set of oil impregnated brake shoes before i xan get to tear it down again.
I thought i had done a proper job, after doing the seal i left it open on the jack and had filled the fluid and left the whole assembly while i worked on the rebuild of the front power steering cylinder. So in my mind it had loads of time to leak. Naturally not under operating load.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated
Thanks.
