Hi all,
I'm surprised I could find no references to this in the thread history... so here goes...
The rear seal on my 1999 B2100 has developed a slow leak after some vines got wrapped around the shaft and some of it worked its way into the seal. I carefully removed the material but it must have slightly scored the seal.
I'm considering using some ATP-205 Reseal to see if it stops this leak rather that the tremendous cost to replace the seal. ATP-205 gets rave reviews by many and is a plasticiser that is completely safe for rubber. Problem is... while it is great for rubber seals, it can apparently soften and degrade teflon/delrin/plastic seals, etc.
Does anyone know whether there are any non-rubble seals in the HST or hydraulics on this machine?
Would greatly appreciate any first hand knowledge on this subject - but not looking for any general rants about "doing it right" etc. sometimes the "optimal solution" just isn't practical.
Thanks much.
