Leaky Chain Case

[jdsledsrgr8]

Put this out there back in the summer. My cyclone chain case has a slow leak. Running it some this winter I have now determined it is the back cork gasket. Slow weekend for me so I am thinking about replacing it on my own. Looks like some bolts etc to pull everything out to get to it. I have several new cork gaskets and yes everyone warned to check fitment. So before I tear into it, is there more to it than it appears, should I be cautious of anything etc? Does it require any special tools other than wrenches and skinned knuckles?

Thanks for the help for a novice mechanic.

Required Tools:
service manual, you need to remove the driveshaft in order to replace any of the worn parts. Besides a bad cork gasket, I would replace the large "O" ring that is around the bearing, sandwiched between the bearing flangettes, JD part # U42111 which is still available.

it does require a large can of patience , the bearing bolts/nuts are tough to get to on the back side up insde the tunnel ,but the job is pretty straight forward and im sure you can accomplish the task at hand !! wade

Might want to do the bearings too while your in there. Since it is a pain in the butt to do.
