    Posted: Yesterday at 1:27pm
I own a 1956 WD45 gas that has a trans. leak that is steadily going back. From what I can tell, I think it's from the first PTO shaft seal; can't really tell. Anyone got any advice or tips for repair/replace? Can I just delete the PTO in general from the trans. or hydro. pump? 
Help needed, please.

Get some towels and break clean and clean everything up and find where the leak is coming from. You can drop off the bottom PO gearbox and delete if you want. It's not hard to put a couple gaskets and a seal into it and fix the leaks.

Ok thank you. But I have bigger fish to fry first; my entire left rim is basically non-existent.

How hard are seals to find for that spot if I had time to replace?

I don't remember where I got mine 10 years ago. You'd need the gasket for that 2 bolt flange and hte seal. It's also likely your leaking old between the PTO box and the upper torque tube. Check that and It's not hard to do that gasket at the same time.

I think AGCO has them, Steiner, DJ's tractor and probably other here on the site.
They are very available

Thanks. Any recommendations on how to take apart my hydro. pump without it exploding in my hands? Either it's seized or the linkage is the linkage alone is seized. I haven't tried to do anything for fear that I'll lose parts or break it inadvertently. If it is seized, do you know where I could find parts and what prices would look like? I don't mind used parts, just as long as they're not used to the point of questionable reliability. Also, my starter is in a really weird position, especially the switch, almost like somebody sent to get rebuilt or just slapped the wrong switch on and said, "Eh, whatever. I don't mind having to stand around the axle housing and push the starter swicth itself with my hands." It was definitely a pull switch at some point, but somebody made it a push switch and didn't bother to change the starter linkage at all.

I rebuilt my pump about 10 years ago also. First think to do is to go throguh the operator's manual and make sure all the linkage is free and adjusted correctly. There is a specific war to set in the linkage in the book.

Beyond that, get an Allis WD45 service manual is explains everything about how the pump works and how to rebuild. Most of the pump parts are still available from AGCO

I don't have any advice about the starter. It might just be clocked wrong and could be turned. They used similar starters on many different tractors. Your's may have been replaced from a different model tractor
