D6 9u changing a seal

on my d6 9u known as THE HOOD, the seal on the input shaft of the trans decided to leak a little more then a drop here and there. the seal decided that 5 gallons of oil in 4 hour running time would be a lot better. the diaper pads in the stump pan could not soak up the oil fast enough (the daiper pads sure did heat my shop in the woodstove, lol). i have not been too excited about doing this job but like i tell everyone on the BBs just pop the motor out and fix everything else along the way. yesterday i drove the cat in my little shop when i returned from the cat train photo shoot. i also popped the vee-plow and front stump pan off before the cat when in to the shop. today i removed the hardnose to find a seal needs replacing on the input shaft to the pump. once i popped the rad off to find the front engine is leaking too. then i removed the motor and the trans. with these out of the way i found cracks in the frame plus the long bolt through the small spring is broken. i removed the seat so i can replace a seal on the steering boost pump which i have to remove to get the trans shaft in to the winch. (i have done this before) so i figure on the one seal that was leaking the most, i'll change 4 other seals, plus fix about 20 items to make the cat's life a little easier. of course i decide to do this when it is in the mid -20C during the heat of the day because i have to use my 922 loader to do all the lifting out side my little shop. i put the engine and trans on my welding table plus put the cat back inside my shop. by morning the shop should be warm enough to work on the cat. thansk KoO Published Author
