[Farmall] Final Drive Needed

[Mike Sloane]

I have to think that your problems are a little more complicated than 
you might think, Richard.

First off, the number you mention isn't a serial number, it is a part 
number for the housing. According to my parts manual, the number should 
be 9824DCX. (9811DCX will also work) The right housing is 9825DCX 
(9812DCX will also work) So it would appear that you may have the wrong 
housing on the left side. IH never put serial numbers on anything but 
the tractor chassis and the engines, and those numbers very rarely 
matched after the 1930s, due to the fact that engines were also sold as 
stand-alone power units - the engine number will almost always be higher 
than the tractor's serial number, except in the very beginning of 
production.

Second, to have several successive final drive units fail is highly 
unusual. Either the replacements are defective, the wrong ones, or there 
is something else not right with the drive train.

Third, you tractor, according to the serial number you gave, is a 1951.
