May 25, 200917 yr i have just bought a 99 txt 270, and the oil sight in the side of the gearbox seems to b leaking slightly, can i just unscrew it and replace the seal?? What size socket do i need? A 16mm is to small, and a 17 doesnt want to go down over it (i think the outside of the socket is hitting case), or is there a certain spanner i could use
May 27, 200917 yr Author COME ON MUN! Some1 must have changed the oil glass on the side of the gearbox???
June 1, 200917 yr Author right i modified a 17mm socket and it fits perfect. replace the oil sight and the copper washer, and it still seems to leak a tiny bit of oil, when left for a few hours. Anyone else had this problem????? i was thinking of using a fibre washer instead of copper to try and get a better seal, any suggestions???
June 1, 200917 yr Nah nah, wham some gasket sealent between the washer and sight, washer and case... should sort it out!
June 2, 200917 yr Author Cheers!!! I'l give it a try on the wk end. Its only leaking a tiny bit, but its annoying and i like to sort things out... any others ideas, please feel free to add????
