Covers diagnosing a leaking rear PTO gasket, pulling the old seal off, inspecting the shaft and bearings for damage, and hand-installing a new gasket using a hammer and the old seal as a driver, plus noting the part number and how low hydraulic fluid affects throttle response. Best for owners facing the same leak.

Pry off the old gasket, inspect the shaft and bearings for damage, then use the old gasket plus a hammer to tap the new seal on flush around the PTO.
Low hydraulic fluid was noted as the cause, making the forward pedal need to go almost to the floor just to move one or two miles an hour.
A 32 millimeter socket did not fit, so the old gasket was placed over the new one and tapped around the edge with the flat face of a hammer.
Yes, the shaft was checked for play and the bearings inspected for cracks or scoring, and none were found after the gasket failed.
