Gravely model 991088
Changed the fluid and filter about a month ago. Yesterday changed the belt for the blade and noticed it was pretty wet around the shaft side of the wheel motor. Doesnt seem like it's enough to leak on the ground yet though. Didn't notice anything unusual in the fluid a month ago either. Mower operates normally. What does it cost to have a hydraulic shop tear down a wheel motor and install a seal kit? My guess is its just a bad oring or something. This thing as been maintained and not beat on. Has about 1300hrs and is a 2014 model. Kind of disappointed honestly. Honestly, I recall that wheel motor being a bit damp back when the mower was maybe 5 years old.
