Massey Ferguson PTO | Replacing the PTO Seal.

Replacing the PTO Seal on a Massey Ferguson Tractor
Replacing the Power Take-Off (PTO) seal on a Massey Ferguson tractor is a straightforward task if approached methodically. Below is a streamlined guide:
Steps:
1. Preparation:
Park the tractor on a flat, level surface.
Engage the parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the key.
If necessary, disconnect the battery.
2. Accessing the PTO Seal:
Locate the PTO shaft at the rear of the tractor.
Clean the area around the PTO to prevent dirt and debris from entering the gearbox.
Remove any guards or covers obstructing access to the PTO seal.
3. Removing the Old PTO Seal:
Drain the gearbox oil if necessary to prevent leakage when the seal is removed.
Use a seal puller or a suitable tool to carefully pry out the old PTO seal. Avoid damaging the PTO shaft or housing.
Clean the seal housing and PTO shaft thoroughly.
4. Installing the New PTO Seal:
Lubricate the new PTO seal with a light coat of oil or grease.
Position the new seal over the PTO shaft and press it into the housing. Use a seal driver or a similar tool, and gently tap with a hammer if needed.
Ensure the seal is seated properly and flush with the housing.
5. Reassembly:
Refill the gearbox with the appropriate oil if it was drained.
Reattach any guards or covers.
Check for any tools or parts left around the PTO area and ensure everything is secure.
6. Final Checks:
Reconnect the battery if it was disconnected.
Start the tractor and engage the PTO to check for leaks around the new seal.
This streamlined process will help ensure a successful seal replacement and the continued efficient operation of your Massey Ferguson tractor.
