Earlier in Nov I pulled the engine out of the PK 1620 to replace the flywheel seal that was leaking, got it back together and plowed snow for about 1 hour discovered oil dripping off the tractor frame the engine etc I was not a happy camper. Remove the engine a second time and found I made a mistake instead of buying OEM seals I bought the less expensive aftermarket one DON'T DO THAT it was leaking at the seal when I got the OEM seal just out of curiosity I measured the OD of both seals the OEM seal measured 1.761`" the aftermarket one was 1.732" discovered (to late) that I could push the aftermarket seal in with my finger not so with the OEM seal had to use the seal installation tool. Anyway got the seal installed and the engine buttoned up and reinstalled in the tractor yesterday, this afternoon connect the fuel hose installed the battery and tried the starter it started right up I ran it a couple of times for about 15 minutes total so far and no oil leaks yet time will tell but I pretty sure this time is the charm
 
We got our Jan thaw this afternoon so I took the 1620 out for a nice ride drove down the street past the Sport & Lawn shop the Hardware the laundromat the bank and back to the shop for about a 15 minute ride check it over and duidn't find any oil leaking so I think I got it thus time
