IMPORTANT:
Avoid Damage! Use liberal amounts of transmission oil to lubricate components as they are assembled. DO NOT use grease or other heavy lubricants unless they are specifically called for in the assembly story.
Mid and rear PTO shaft seals have grass cutter lips that require a special driver. Use only seal drivers with a recessed drive face designed for this type of seal. Flat-faced seal drivers will damage these seals.
โNOTE:
Install new seals when assembling PTO drive. Lubricate seals, bearings, bearing bores, and shafts with clean oil before assembly. Prevent damage to seals by covering splined shafts with tape or thin plastic before assembly.
Replace oil seal (P). Install new oil seal using JDG11236 Rear PTO Seal Driver. Recess seal to specification.
