I have a dream - no leaks on my 1996 B2400 tractor, serial no. 72874 tractor. I have owned this tractor since 2003. I have over the years had several small leaks which I didn't take care of. All are fairly minor but are starting to bug me. My goal is to have zero leaks.
1. There is a hydraulic leak from right side bolt (3 bolts across) under the mid pto. All 3 bolts appear partially stripped/damages and there may be related seal under each bolt. See pic below. I would like to replace all 3. I have followed many threads before in this forum and usually someone says look at the parts diagram on Messicks. I have tried but am not smart enough to locate these bolts.
2. Directly to the right of the mid pto is a round ~1 1/2" hole and, next to it, what looks like a bolt hole. See Pic. While this does not appear to be leaking -it does look like something might be missing here and in need of replacement. Again I looked through the parts diagrams but could not locate it.
3. The third leak appears to be the drive from the engine to the rear wheels. Again I could not identify it in the parts diagrams. I have read various posts which suggest that it may be related to the steering system - is this correct?
I have gone around the tractor and tighten various loose bolts which has helped. I believe there are additional issues but this is where I want to start.
Thank you for your help.
