Well, the plug came in. Too bad the small leak was at the location which exposed the o-ring. New plug did nothing different.

Checked the final drive oil and it wasn’t contaminated with hydraulic fluid. In fact, appears it has been a while since changed. Very black and not a lot came out. Emptied and refilled.

Covered the leak with JB weld and letting it dry. Maybe it will hold, but doubt it.

If it still leaks then will just buy a new final drive so trying the JB weld won’t hurt anything.

I will post back when I run it.

Final update, as soon as it ran it kept leaking through the JB weld. Figured as much. Ordered a new final drive and just waiting for a nice day to install.

Thanks to everyone for your help on this.
