JCB 212SU Torque converter oil leak

Anybody ever pulled a transmission out of a JCB 212? We suddenly developed an oil leak out from an inspection hole in the torque converter compartment and looks like we need to pull things apart-not that we needed this problem just when starting back to work! We need to find a repair manual without going thru the dealer if possible. Anyone know where we might be able to order one? And if you've dealt w/ JCB smaller tractors, you probably know how small working spaces are. Anybody done that before?

    Ernie, did you get that leak fixed yet ? I have the same problem and would like to know how you made out .

    Yeah, Threadbreaker, it was the pilot shaft on the torque converter that was broken off and evidently allowed just a little wiggle to wear the seal out even though the spring plate was ok. A new pilot shaft welded on by a shop and a new seal fixed it. Erine
