Read articles →An owner-shot teardown focused on one specific repair: replacing leaking input-shaft seals on the M60 mid-mount mower deck gearbox of an RK24. The video walks through why grass buildup causes seal failure, why the seals can't be popped out without full disassembly, the risk of stripping the cast Allen-head bolts, and where to source replacement seals by metric size. Best for RK24 owners facing the same oil-leak issue.
Posted by the mikelastime channel, which appears to be an owner sharing first-hand repair experience from their own equipment.
Grass gets in behind the front seal where the drive shaft connects because the gearbox and shaft sit low to the ground, letting grass build up and open the seal.
No, the seal sits down into a groove inside the cast housing, which prevents pulling it out, so the gearbox must be fully torn apart.
It takes two seals plus a dummy blocker on the unused side, and the owner recommends replacing both even if one still looks good.
The Allen head bolts are set in cast and strip easily if tightened wrong or too tight, so use a good Allen socket for your ratchet.
