[AT] JD 730D Live PTO clutch oil

[Brett Phillips]

Howard:

That's a common problem with the 2-cylinder JD's that have Live PTO.  I
think most folks just keep changing oil, since it is a lot of work to
replace that seal.  I believe that the entire rockshaft housing (everything
behind the operators floorboard) has to come off to replace the seal, since
it presses into the housing from the back side.  I just change the oil in
the PTO once a year and forget about it.

Well an update, I went to Wally World and picked up a jug of R&O Hyd
fluid and came home after work to change the fluid. Pulled teh drain
plug and stinky gear oil came out. Looks like the shaft seal between the
PTO housing and rearend is shot.  This means the whole rear assy will
have to come off of the tractor to change that seal. anyway I will run
it with the R&O for a while. They also had their version of hy gard,
maybe I'll try it later. The R&O seemed to work ok for now.

Thanks for all the help
