New to working on L tractors all together, my tractor is a L4200. However about a year ago I had the seal go out for the front shaft and got a guy that replaced that for me. Only problem is now the tractor leaks all the hydraulic fluid out of the seam where the clutch housing and mid case meet. The liquid gasket maker has been eaten away or slipped out of the seam and leaks out every bit of fluid.
This is my first attempt at splitting a tractor of any type and I have the tractor torn down all the way to being able to pull the bolts and nuts to split the tractor. My question is can I just split the tractor on the back side of the clutch housing as opposed to splitting it at the bell housing then taking the clutch housing off the replace the liquid gasket? Is this gasket that has came out of place my only problem? On a side not would it be more efficient for me to make a gasket out of cork as opposed to going back with another liquid gasket? I just don’t want to have to do this again a year down the road.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
