It's my brother's mower. It leaks oil profusely from underneath. I suspect it is the bottom crankshaft seal. Does anyone know if this seal can be installed from the outside, rather than have to tear the casing apart to replace it? A complete gasket set for this engine, AM130362, costs $95, which I will need to disassemble the casing, while the bottom seal alone is $5, which is a more desirable outcome. Those John Deere parts are sure expensive.
