QL 1450 PTO Oil leak...

Well, looks like everyone was right on about the breather causing an over pressure situation leading to oil blowing out the crank seal, pto side. I couldn't even *see* the breather cover due to all the caked on oil/dirt. I got it off and found the follwing as shown in the pics. When I first pulled the cover loose about a 1/4 cup of oil poured out.

Does the back piece (last pic) come off as well? It looks like it does on the parts sheet, but mine is stuck...

My big issue right now is that the breather cover is dented in where the PO cranked down on the nut that holds ti all together. I imagine that if this didn't warp it, me trying to bang it back out will. Any suggestions on where to get a replacement breather cover? My local IH dealer doesn't have them.

Thanks,

-Calvin

I've been invaded! Don T.: HELP!!
I suppose it's better than snow. A green loader will be here before the weekend's over.

Are all my Cubs' rear wheels mounted backwards??

Calvin, I might have a used breather cover that I can send you. I'll check tonight when I get home. Hmmm, though I might have sent that to Don T. some time ago, I know I sent him some breather parts.
