This is on a F725 JD Front Mower. Any have experience with this? It is blowing oil somewhere, I have not looked at it yet. Looking at a parts diagram it does not show any PTO end crankshaft bearing. Anyone know if it exist or is it the lower housing?

Just like the Briggs without bearing. If just an oil leak the use of UV dye will get to leak quicker after you clean the engine and the area around it. If blowing oil then you may a blown head gasket or severe blow-by.

At least its not the unitized F525 engine so you got a lot more clearance to work with which I put a PTO seal on a few weeks ago. So low I couldn't slide my low profile jack under it nstead had to an engine crane so I could even get the PTO clutch off.
