I moved my rotary cutter yesterday and found a pool of gear lube puddled up underneath it. ( I had topped it off a few weeks back ). I filled it back up but must assume it wont go away.

I'm guessing the culprit is a seal on the driveshaft from the gearbox to the blades. Other ideas?

Does anyone have any experience on the replacement? While I hate to take it in, I may not have the tools to break it apart and fix it.

Most (all?) such seals can be replaced without disassembling the gearbox but you will need to remove the blade carrier, etc.

I've found it helpful to invert the mower to make access easier.

Here’s a handy breakdown of everything.

Drop down menu let’s you look at all sections.

Looks like you can drop the stump jumper and maybe get to seal without removing gearbox. If you can get the cutter up high enough or flipped over/propped on one side. Like @SDT said a few post above.
