On my john deere with a kohler magnum 18 i have had a small puddle of oil under the front of the mower for a while but yesterday i drove it out and had smoke coming out from under the hood and the i realized that oil was being sprayed up on the muffler by the pto shaft.

Kohler magnum

M18

Spec 24541

Serial 2012205916
 
I got the part on friday. Im wondering how dose it go on do i have to pull the motor or can i get to it after pulling off the pto. I have never replaced one of these so anything will help.
 
I pulled the motor today got the pto off and pulled the back plate that has the seal in it. Then i looked at the new seal compared to the old one and john deere gave me the wrong part, i am going back to the dealer after school tomorrow and hopefully have it running tomorrow.
 
Replaced the part and it still leaks a little bit but not as bad
