I looked in shop key and found that crankcase filter. Looks very easy to change. I will have parts get a price on that crankcase filter and advise customer to replace it. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. It has been cold here in Minnesota recently. I was thinking possibly breather froze and caused also. I had done the last oil change on this truck and it was not even seaping from rear of engine at that time. Are you saying there is a filter I should be suggesting they replace? If so any ideal on part #?

Got the trans pulled out flexplate removed found rear main seal pushed out. I installed new one test drove no leaks. Ever heard of the seal pushing out? No crank end play.

Yeah, 7 qts low. It is going to be a messy job.

Thanks I added 4 bottles of dye and 7 qts of oil cleaned off with brake clean had dyed oil coming out in 10 minutes. I will post what I find. Tony

Thats what I have figured out also. I have an ok to pull trans and look now. I also have seal ordered so I will find out soon enough.

I did not get much time this weekend with the weather so crappy here. It appears glow plugs are under the valve cover on this engine. also the valve cover is the intake similiar to the ford 6.7 the cac tube goes into valve cover. I am going to have my dad see if deere will give him any info on glow plugs wiring and possibly have him order a repair manual. I noticed the water pump seaping when I was looking at it also. Tony Thanks for the replies when I figure anything out I will post it.

I have above truck pouring oil out back of engine. I have not pulled trans yet but appears to be rear main area. Any suggestions on other leak location that could push alot of oil out in this area? Also I am a ford diesel tech at a dealership am I going to need any tools to do rear main on this engine? Thanks Tony

Thanks for the replies. I am going to look at it this weekend.

Does anybody have any ideal where I can get wiring schematic info short of buying a repair manual? My dad says his skid loader sets service codes lite on after started and has a active code 676.05 glow plug relay output circuit code. Before I go over and try looking at it I would like to see if I can find some info on how it is wired. Thanks Tony

12-7-7 is the tsb.

Mine was a electric shift 4x4 no way to put in neutral. Most tow truck drivers know to pull drive shafts.

I have had this before. On mine the trans locked up on test drive. towing company got to pay for remaned trans.
