Nice one, that’s my next job, but, does the PTO shaft seal as it passes through the gearbox to the diff, as I drained the diff and loads of oil (and sludge) came out and the gearbox oil level was low, I topped the gearbox up with white spirit and that is draining into the diff ( I’m gonna change the gearbox oil anyway after) I’ve got to do the front PTO seals too, it’s that partition between GB & Diff I’m worried about as the GB is higher that the diff, so will the GB oil keep draining into the diff even when diff oil is back in ??
My next video will be this very issue! The PTO gear housing at the bottom of the gearbox has 2 chambers separated by a bearing/seal. The splined shaft goes through this seal and then the PTO shaft slips over the spline after poking through the diff housing.
