4JG1T Main Seal Leaking

Postby jimpad » Mon Jun 22, 2020 7:38 am

Well unfortunately I'm back. Got about 500 hours on rebuild and main seal started leaking. What a pain! It's in a compact track loader so I'll have to pull engine to change it

1. What the heck kills seal after 500 hrs?
2. What other stuff will I need for repair... pan gasket...?
3. Where to get parts in U.S.?

Thanks

Did you use the proper 4J tool to install it?

No I didn't. I'll look into one of those tools. Thanks

Proper tool and genuine style seal is needed, pretty critical to get that get seal seated correctly

They are pug seals to get right. I replace them with a lip seal, no problems.
