I think I have an older 610, and I got the engine running like a champ. Now, I have a hydraulic fluid leak at the variable speed drive. The belt does not spin at idle, and when I push the hydraulic lever in the cab, hydraulic fluid slings all over. I have included a photo that might explain more. Can anyone let me know what seal kit to purchase or where to get it? It seems like there are several out there, and I want to be sure I get the correct one. The fluid looks like a milkshake, and I will change it once I get it operational—many thanks in advance.

I have the same issue and replaced that exact part and am still having fluid coming out from the same place you pointed out in your picture and haven't figured out the next step.

Odie, I'm having issues with my Variable speed as well. while moving forward I hit the handle and it speeds up some. Much faster than the crawl anyway. BUT, it then slows down if you turn or work the bucket at all. So I started reading and digging. I was finally able to get some grease into the zerk on that hub you have pictured. . The grease came out from that slit where your arrows are at in your pic. So , I dont think there should be any hydraulic fluid in there. Perhaps its leaking at the coupling and spinning out to the edges ? Keep us posted , I got a lot to learn here. thanks Jim
