1962 Original input shaft seal
 

I need to replace what I believe is the input shaft oil seal in my Original. It is at the end of the shaft toward the rear of the tractor. How do I remove the shaft and who has a good seal for it? It has been sitting like this for awhile and I have filled up a good size cup full of gear oil. I would like to get it fixed and out of the way as soon as possible. Thanks

Are you referring to this seal?

Yes that looks to be it. Its right behind the round rubber pad on the shaft.

You can view the service manual for the original on how to remove. 2 bolts on left side, one bolt on right side, remove clutch actuator shaft, and 2 bolts at flex coupler, drop out drive shaft and clutch as a unit. Drive out spiral pin at input shaft and remove coupler. Put a couple screws in the seal and pull out with vice grips. I would make sure you don't have a lot of play in the input and inspect input shaft for scoring. Both of which will make it leak. Here is a pic of clutch you will be removing. You can take out entire rear with 4 big 3/4 head bolts and disconnect brake linkage too but I think this can be done under tractor with rear in place just as easy.

Thanks for the walk through. I have got it all torn down and ready for the new seal to go in.

When Installing the seal, should I put any sealant around it?

no sealant is necessary.
