oil leak on a bayou?..kind find the part?!?!?

since i cant think of another place to post this on this site..and the kawa sites have been.....useless.....i figured you guys might know or be able to help

1993 kawasaki bayou 400 4x4....it was out being used for logging when it sprung an oil leak and was rode back to the shop..i was informed of it only to find a HUGE puddle under it...it had puked its crankcase contents

there is a ?plug?seal? or something missing...opposite end of the front drive shaft..facing the rear shaft...heres the real problem tho...i cant find anything in the parts lookups that show the transfercase area...

so heres a couple pic's for referance...and the hole is roughly about 2inch? maybe a lil smaller....from my auto background id almost think a freezplug goes in there as the walls of teh hole are smooth


hopefully someone can get me a part number????

thank link sent me right to the main fish page where you enter everything in...so...if you found the "right" one...which one did you click cause ive been thru these allready and didnt spot it

They call that the front bevel gear, unfortunately I dont see a plug for that area listed. Maybe you can see what you are looking for. I wish you luck, might just have to go to the dealer and see what it is.

part 39031 i think

You're right, that is what the diagram shows, yet something is off... like the bolt flange in the OP's photo near the finger pointing...

I think the part you are talking about is 13091. It's hard to tell much from pictures.

Is the end of that shaft supported as expected? That is, can you see a bearing still in place?

300 and 400 gear boxes are different, according to the fiche.When I was checking for the part number, I had accidently pulled up the 300.When I went back to the op's pics something was amiss, thats when I realized I was no longer in the 400 fiche.

I concur.

I think what looked to me like a bolt hole was just a bit of crud, the image is kinda blurry.

the hole is about 2inches..give or take..yes the front shaft is still supported...

indeed 13091 looks EXACTLY like it would be the right one....ill hit the shop tommaro and get it ordered and lett yall know

you would not belive the STUPIDITY i got from a "dedicated" site for these....cant thank yall enuf

That drive shaft boot looks in need of some love too.

not mine i just maintain it..if he dont want to..it dont get done..tho i do force him into some of the work lol

Yeah, when you wrote "logging" I translated that to "tortured". CV joints on the front axle are money... at least keep those booted, lol

Freeze plug? Looks like a drive shaft goes there!
