    Has anyone ever had the gearbox on a Krone 243s leak before? When I parked up after mowing silage there was a pool of oil under the gearbox. I’ll attach a photo of where it’s leaking.

    Spent the afternoon trying to take the gearbox out but between seized bolts and a lack of knowledge I decided I might ring the dealer on Monday for help.

    If anyone had changed the seal before, was it hard to do?

    i have a 243cv conditioner.
    I assume thats the shaft going into the gearbox top of the bed.
    Grass wrapss around that shaft and literally burns the seal out of it .
    You have to pull the frame off the mower. leave the gearbox attached to the mower .
    Once that gearbox shaft is exposed, seal will pry out of the side of the gearbox and press the new seal in .
    Its an easy job tbh

    Thanks that makes perfect sense. I’d say your right about the grass as the shaft was laced in grass. Thanks I’ll give it a go
