Spirol Pin Question, 982 Rockshaft Assembly

[J-Mech]

It is possible.

Best thing to do is find out where it is leaking. Then, we can direct you to a repair, and tell you if the collision may have caused "other" damage.

Thanks , J-mech., for the speedy reply...I posted about the same question in another thread..was not sure if I broke the rules posting it under this thread
I will attempt to find the leak.

It sounds like it may be helpful if you could find a member in your area that could give you some help on this tractor.

After reading this thread, I know if I lived within 1.5 hours or so I would probably go pick it up and fix it for only the price of the parts.

Same here.

Thanks . .Cub folk are the best!

I am checking out the leak today..not as cold out.
Will post any result I find.

Excuse me, but I don't recall hearing with what part of the tractor she hit the stump with. Twice. Did you Hit the stump with the same part of the tractor or different parts with each impact? I understand your nose hurts and I'm very sorry for that but these are some questions that might help us answer your questions. Did you run over top of the stump and hit the pump, filter, sump line, or rear end? Being that's where its leaking from has got me wondering. Waiting for more pic's !

[drekeweg]

I hit head on with the blade and it stopped dead...The engine was still running after both hits, the blade was the only thing hit, except the windshield where I did the face plant.
I am not sure what pics you would like to see.
I think I hit the same stump twice, the 2nd hit was more to the right of center on the blade.That is when I noticed the lift tube was off, but did not see the bridge pin or the washer anywhere.
I did not notice the leak until the next day,after I parked her, as I was nursing a very swollen face ..That is when I went out and reattached the lift tube, and saw the fluid on the floor.It is right under the rear axle.
Thanks, Grampie....let me.know what u need photos of.

Did I mention that I thought the lift tube may have come loose, after the 1st collision with the stump, and eventually dropped off , causing the blade to abruptly drop , stopping the tractor , and thus throwing me into the windshield on the 2nd collision
I had plowed up the drive and back down,had it cleared , smacked into the stump , hit the windshield, drove back to the house to clean up, half hour later I was on my 2nd pass trying to push back the plowed stuff,when I had the 2nd (and nose breaker) wreck .That time I just shut her off and left her set for the next hour or so while waiting for the bleeding to stop, and I did not notice any fluid on the ground then, either.
My drive is roughly 3300'long, wooded on both sides all the way up.

The leak may be your auction tube, it is on the bottom front side of the rear axle and angles up to the hydro pump. They're made of aluminum and it's possible the force of impact make have cracked it, even if it wasn't hit. That's where I would look first. I may have a pic of mine on my 125, different machine but set up the same way. Hope you're healing up ok!
