I'm working on an old mid-90's Simplicity Landlord with a 16HP Vanguard. It has 700 hrs, runs perfect except for the PTO oil seal has gone bad. I pulled the engine so I can clean up the block and frame after replacing the seal.
I discovered a fair amount of rust on the crank around the oil seal. Seems like an odd place to get rust, especially since this thing has been leaking oil for years (sat in storage due to the leak).
I'm concerned that this rust will damage the new seal...
