Just bought my first tractor '68 case 580CK gas. Tractor sounds real good, fired right up on 2 surprise visits. Didn't appear to leak any fluids till I got it home and started driving it.
I looked at the shift and saw a pile of what looked like Hydraulic fluid(kinda clear and pretty thick) traced it up to just under the steering wheel, pulled the dipstick on the right side of engine and it was just barely wet at the tip so I leaked a good amount in the 10-20 min of driving it.
I should mention The previous owner mentioned he had done a few things recently one of which was bleeding out the steering system and how it was a real PITA to get all the air out.
Is there a seal under the wheel?
