Old subject but I am having the same issue, always adding transmission oil or the HLR stops working on incline. Always dripping out around the brake lever entry and cover on right side clutch housing. I am thinking about getting an new 3/4 square drive plug, tapping it and running a tube into a smal...

JD450C non turbo

s/n 450CC-203454T engine 4219DT 02 301525T
