I have a new to me BX2200 which has a leaking seal at the front transmission cover. I am curious if anybody has tackled removing the front case cover and putting a new sealant in? As you can see in the pictures, I am tore down to what you see. I’ve power washed it and used the powder method trick to pinpoint the leak location showing that it’s in fact the front case cover seal. Also curious if this can be done without removing the entire rear unit as I don’t have the means to safely lift it out at this time. Local Kubota dealer recommended attempting a JB Weld fix if I wanted to bandaid it, although I’d rather get it fixed the correct way. Thanks in advance.

See if you can borrow an engine lift. Possibly someone on the forums might even be close enough to loan you one.

Unfortunately you have to remove the transmission to.replace that seal. It is labor intensive but looks like your halfway there

I sure hope that you remember where everything goes when it comes time to put it all back together.
