With our 2072 we do not have to split the tractor to get the hydro out but it is a labor intensive job. We did it twice yesterday!!!. We do not tolerate leaks either. If the original hydro that we installed last evening also leaks with a new gasket then we may decide the gaskets are not thick enough. The new gasket on the hydro we took off did appear to be compressed but we are sure that is where the leak is comming from. We can see the hydro fluid seeping down around the gasket and other than the oil seal at the top rear of our hydro there is no other place for oil to leak from. We had a leak from that rear seal and it was spread over the top of the tranny more than down around the cork gasket area and now the top is dry. We hate leaks, possibly forgivable in a dog but not our tractors.
