So..... I'm kind of tired of this thread. When are you going to fix this damn thing? Suck it up, pull it out, fix it, or live with the freaking leak. Two damn drops on a piece of cardboard and you act like it's draining the rear end overnight. If you can't or worn't fix it, go back to using the 1641 and sell Sam the 1864. Whatever you do, quit complaining and get to fixing it. We all know what the issue is, you just don't seem to want to do the work to fix it. 6 days you have been whining about this leak...... 6 DAYS!!!!
Absolutely nothing wrong with using silicone on the axle tubes as long as you use the right kind. Red is high temp. I'd silicone them on and not look back.

Sorry to take up your 6 days with whining. The two "damn" drops happened while it's been sitting for several days. When I drive it and then park it, it leaves a puddle by the next day. THAT is a problem, leaving hydro fluid grease slicks on my garage floor is not optimal and needs fixed. I'm just asking a lot of questions because I've never had a rear apart and I don't want to cause a bigger problem and make it unusable. That's why I asked about parts interchangeability, so if I break something or find big problems in the rear differential, can the differential (minus the pump) from the 1641 bolt up to the Sundstrand pump and work. I don't want to move the hydrogear pump to the 1864, that is not an option and would be dumb. I know the hydrogear would not be a good fit with the power steering. I know the Sundstrand > the hydrogear. I know the Kohler 18hp > Briggs Vanguard 16hp. I know the 1864 > 1641.
So I don't take up any more of your time reading my "whining" posts, which is obviously your choice to read them in the first place. I won't post anymore to this thread until I have it apart and back together unless I find a problem I need help with. Otherwise my next post in this thread will be when it's done.
Thanks for all the help and advice so far to everyone. I think I have enough information to tackle this repair.
