How bad of a job was it to pull the PTO and bell housing? I've heard it's about the same to either pull the engine or pull the hydros and pto and all that? My thoughts would be it would be easier/less headache to leave all the coolant and fuel systems connected to the engine and leave that part alone. Last season we had a pretty significant leak in the bell housing area.

Did you put some locktite on the bolt threads? Is this common? Or just a bad day on the assembly line? Up dates? TIA Dirt They weren't finger loose but neither were they snug. Earlier I had tightened the 4 pan bolts that bolt into said housing. Sure enough 5 of the eight were less than finger tight. As I was blowing the crap off the seal housing I thought I saw one of the housing bolts turn. Thought the rear main seal let loose on a 2388.
