I have a 318 that I finished restoring before the winter hit. I decide to use it this winter with my 49 snowblower. I used it about a week ago in our first snow storm in MA, and it worked OK. I definitely need to add the paddle mod to it.
I know people like pictures, so here are a few of the machine (along with my other 318 with a 44 loader on it). It was almost completely rebuilt, including the B43G engine (overbored +.010, lots of new parts in that).
But back to my main question. After using it this first snowstorm, I noticed a leak from the Hydro transmission. I have a picture of where it is leaking below: (this is not MY transmission, just using it to show the location).
After looking at the parts database, it looks like there is a seal in there. Has anyone replace this seal? Can it be done by just taking out the transmission/diff as a unit and pulling out the seal and replacing it? I hope the Transmission doesn't need to be taken apart .
I appreciate the time and help!
