Thread: Leaking winch

  1. #1

    Default Leaking winch

    I bought this M726 just for the winch setup. On the drivers side of the winch it has a small vent tube that has been leaking the gear oil. I don't know where to start. Maybe its just sad. Thanks in advance. Lanny

    I will have to look on the LU4 in my class tomorrow. But, if it is leaking out a vent on top, I would suspect water or a waaay over full winch.

    If it is leaking out the seals, just drain and fill with John Deere cornhead grease.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

    What Barrman said......

    And even if you go to the expense and time of resealing it, it won't be a question of if it will leak, but when it will leak. Pack it full of grease. At least that doesn't leave a puddle all over your driveway, shop or garage.
