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
