So I cant seem to stop oil from coming out from around cap of hyd tank (old 444 with tank up front). Cap and tank in good shape and oil level verified to be per manual (lower side). I mowed a few times without checking and had a huge mess. Now I've tried a few times with no hood and after paying close attention to my 'shift' quality it still lets some out if I accidentally jerk it (linkage seems good with no slop felt by 'hand') or go through pretty rough spots.
Not too fond of the idea of trying a gasket/seal between top of tank spout and cap cause with my luck it will end up in the control valve. Fluid comes out around threads rather than vent hole.
Was wondering if switching this thing over to the metal tank-under-battery-variety is a possibility? This is a workhorse not a show tractor BTW.
