All the ones I've fixed , 986 (82), 766 (78) have the leak out the bottom end where the wide seal is inside the case. But I always do the top end to while I have it all apart. Thanks brother
Have you every made it to Portland, Indiana in Jay Co. For the tri-state gas engine show? It's a great time and awesome place to find that one of a kind part for almost anything!
It took me about an hour if say. The bolts are quarter 28. Clean the holes as much as possible then if I had one I would have used a steering wheel puller... But I was field working lol good luck 👍 let us know what you figure out.
