The gearbox should only be about 1/2 full, not to the top.
The hydraulic system will take about 2 to 3 gallons to fill all of the cylinders, hoses, and valves.
It now sounds like a blown pump shaft seal, a casualty from initially running the pump dry. Not a big job to replace. Tommy has pump kits. Can you tell if the oil thats leaking is hydraulic or gear oil?
In looking at your pics again I see that there is quite an offset. Probably should have gusseted those offsets.
Bob,it's hydraulic fluid,there was to much came out to be gear oil and the gear box is still full,but it looked like it was coming from between the gear box and shaft not gear box and pump…….Do i take it apart?what should i look for?
Thanks,i must be getting to be a real pain
Ben…………..
From streetrods post……………after one minute the pump shaft seal blows and a massive fluid leak under the pump gearbox
Guess that's my problem now!
I looked at some old post by Bob Rooks,he didn't have anything good to say about the LW6 he owned at one time..wish i had to read this form before i bought my LW6….
Anyway the brackets i made up didn't work the pump must have moved on the PTO and came out about 2 inches.scrapped that!….so i chained it to the tractor,started it up let it run for awhile..perfect when i moved the controls on BH it worked fine ..When i checked the pump fluid was leaking,looked like from gearbox because the around the pump was dry.Checked the BH tank only 1/2 full i lost about 2 gal…..
It's back to square 1 again…Figured i was all set up ready to go……The chain works fine,damage must be from the brackets i installed……
Good Luck with yours Streetrod!
Maybe seals in pump?? Help me again Please!!
The fluid seemed to be coming from the gearbox,but it's full,BH tank is down a few gal.
Ben
Good thing i checked the form this morning before i worked on the pump!!
Will i ever learn?
I'll switch connections on the PUMP..
So simple,hope old age is not doing that to me
Thank You Bob
Have a Great Day!
Yes,i was thinking about that..like swapping them from the other end of hose..Right??I fig. that out while watching Nancy Grace.Breaking News…Think Before You Post!! Ha!
Thanks Bob!
Ben…
I went with the violet!
Pump don't seem to be working…here's what i did:
Filled gear box.
Filled tank with 6 gal fluid.
Filled hose with about 1/2 qt. fluid before i hooked to pump.fig. it would help to prime it.
Checked PTO to make sure it was working before i put pump on PTO.
Set PTO to 540
Left outlet hose open,with bucket under it.
Let tractor run between 900 and 1500 RPMs for a min…no fluid coming out,only a few drops,guess from where i primed the inlet hose .
Hooked the hose up and tried it again..nothing only a few air bubbles spitting fluid, coming from the cover vent holes on the tank.
Is there anything i missed??????????
I won't start it again “til I hear from you..
Thought I'd be digging up the garden by now…..hope it's not a faulty pump
Appreciate all your advice

That's just a piece of the massive iceberg, originally about 250 kilometres by 250 kilometres, that broke off a Greenland glacier..
Looks like that one is grounded,there about 2 weeks!
The most icebergs we had in years,most of them broke of the big one!
My relatives in Oklahoma would love to have that in their back yard!
Should have the BH up and running tomorrow..gotta break that berg up.Ha!
Have a good Week
Ben…………
Thanks Bob!
Any idea what type of bracket i need to move this berg from the back of my shed?
Just kidding!
No wonder it's so cold here!
This is what they make iceberg vodka and pure bottled water from!
Do Bob mean just put 2 brackets and cross them??
OK,think i got it………………
Use only 2 brackets..Right??
