3pt Lift Arm seal leak

[g2k]

I was doing some box blading and noticed wetness around the left side lift arm. I assume it's the seal "ring 130" in the schematic below. I really haven't looked too close at the tractor yet but from what I can see it looks like if I remove the link bracket (#170) I should be able to remove the arm and access the seal. Is this correct? Any advice is appreciated. Machine is an L2900.

Do both sides when you do it.

The tricky part is getting the 110 and 120 off to replace the 2 O-rings, which you will note are different side to side.

Hopefully you can get enough side to side play out of it to get the outer bushing / ring off.

Also check the vent under the seat as that can cause the seals to leak more than normal.

Thanks I'll definitely check the vent first. It looks like the seals are pretty far in there then after the collar is removed. Can this job be done on the tractor or does the top cover have to come off?

You might be able to do it on the tractor, just make 100% sure you don't pull the shaft out too far or you will have to remove the cover to put the crank back on the rock shaft.
