Hi folks-I was just wondering if anyone might have some ideas.My gearbox on the mower deck of my Kubota is leaking from somewhere-I can't pinpoint,as I can't see any leak when the deck is engaged,but it is coming from somewhere on gearbox,as the gearbox front is covered w/oil and sprays all over when it hits the pulley.Oil is not overfilled,and plugs are tight.It is only 2 yrs. old(175 hrs)-the owners manual says to have dealer replace oil seal every 2 yrs.I asked the service guy at the Kubota dealer and he said they haven't worked on one yet, so he had no idea on labor costs.I have the shop manual and it shows 4 oil seals-I really don't want to dig into it at the start of mowing season-so does anyone have any ideas on how to slow/stop leaks?Do they make any type of a sealer for gearboxes?The recommended oil is a Kubota oil-no weight listed on bottle-would using a thicker one hurt anything?Deck is off now,I hope somebody can give a suggestion......
