This is what I was doing today. When we put it together last week we didn’t have the gaskets yet, so we just used silicone. It’s outdoors and rain was coming, so we needed to button it up. I also added the gear oil today.
Started putting the oil back into the transmission, and noticed it was coming out the bottom faster than before. Doh! I don’t know what went wrong, I’ve done a lot of seals before without that problem.
Also adjusted the front brakes. Followed the manual, it said to adjust until they drag, then build air pressure and step on the brakes a few times. Then adjust again, and back off three clicks after they drag. All seems good.
I didn’t have time to do anything else. Next time I’ll put the wheels on, remove the transmission yoke, and try to figure out why it’s leaking.
