Is your Massey Ferguson FE35 leaving a puddle of oil on the shed floor? In today’s video, Lance from Bundy Bears Shed takes you through the step-by-step process of replacing the PTO seal and bearing on the iconic FE35.
Leaking PTO shafts are a common headache, but they don't have to be a permanent one. Lance breaks down the teardown, shows you how to pull the old bearing and seal without damaging the housing, and shares his pro-tips for a leak-free reassembly. Whether you’re doing a full restoration or just keeping the old girl working on the farm, this guide has you covered.
