I got in a 2017 Ferris walk behind 52' deck and a Kawasaki 20.5 hp engine. There's a hydraulic oil leak coming from the left transaxle. It appears to be coming out of about a 1/2" shaft or plug on the wheel side of the unit. I can't determine exactly what it is. I haven't been able to see it leaking while the machine is running but, it drips an 8' puddle on the floor overnight. Without removing the transaxle, I can't see any identifying name or number on the unit. Could anyone help me identify it and tell me if I can get the needed parts to repair the leak? The Ferris parts diagram only shows the entire transaxle and it is a very expensive way to repair a leak. thank you, gregjo1948

That one big walk behind at 52 feet with a 8 foot oil puddle.

But what it the mower's model number?

Had to special order it. Has a Kawasaki 200.50 hp engine too.
I found the model number on the Hydro-Gear transaxle ZJ-GMFE-3B5B-1PLX Having trouble finding the correct seal kit for it. I can find kits but they don't cross reference the kit number to the transaxle number. Does anybody know which kit should be used? thanks, gregjo1948

72994 is the seal kit part number for your unit.
