I found an oil leak on an M9000 today. It appears to be transmission fluid leaking into, then dripping out of, the propeller shaft tube. Collapsing the tube proves it's coming from the transmission side.
After looking through all my downloads I concluded I do not have the WSM on the M9000. So I'm asking this of anyone that's been there, Once the tractor is split (engine to clutch housing) can the offending seals (there are two of them) be removed and replaced after removing the front bearing that supports the front wheel drive shaft out of the transmission? The parts list shows the seals in the case and a foot or so of shaft exposed between the seals and the bearing.The question is with the bearing removed can the seals fit through the bearing bore and be driven into place over the shaft without removing the transmission first then moving the shaft back?
Even if I had the manual it probably wouldn't mention doing it that way since they're usually written in the context of total transmission disassembly, but I know someone out there has been through this before. Is this a plausible plan?
