My pony engine chuffs fume out the crank opening even after I cleaned the breather very good. What is the fix and how hard is it to do and find parts?

Sounds like blow-by around the piston rings. I have a pony on a D4 that'll shoot the dipstick out along with most of the oil if you run it with the filler cap on.
Best of luck,

That is correct but the blowby got better with a little use Also the breather was blocked originally due to lack of service. 30 minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner helped

Do you mean it's fuming from the hand crank right angle drive?

That's exactly what I mean.Seems like there should be seals to prevent that.Do you mean it's fuming from the hand crank right angle drive?

There is a seal in there, it's fairly easy to replace, it was still available through Cat when I replaced mine a few years ago.

Do I have to take the whole housing off the side of the engine or can it be replaced with the housing in place?There is a seal in there, it's fairly easy to replace, it was still available through Cat when I replaced mine a few years ago.

The housing needs to be removed from the engine. From memory, there's a plug in the bottom that you can take out to push the shaft out of the gear and the housing.

Would it be possible to use the self-tapping screw trick to get the seal out or is it too tight in there?

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
