Timberwolf 150 track motors leaking.

Good morning all. Got a timberwolf 150ftr in the workshop. After replacing bearings and a few other jobs and noticed that both track motors have decided they are going to start leaking oil. 

 

I pulled off one of the back covers and unfortunately it is not a hydraulic hose or connection that is the problem. Oil is definitely a transmission type of oil. 

 

Was hoping someone may have had some experience in this department and offer some words of wisdom before I wade in there. 

 

Hoping it is just a seal that has let go, seems odd both have started about the same time. Machine is nearly 20 years old. Hopefully I can start insuring it as a classic for some reduced premiums

Think you already know what the next thing to replace or rebuild.

 

Seals don't last forever on any hydraulic pump or motor, just depends if it's cheaper to reboot replace. Replacing is quicker plus peace of mind.
