[Farmall] Farmall Super M Axle Leak

Sat Apr 15 06:39:35 PDT 2006

Just a reminder - on these old tractors, and even when they weren't
so old.  Always spend a lot of time cleaning the axle with a wire
brush, rust remover, etc.  Then a coating of grease.  Use penetrating
oil on the wheel.  Loosen the clamp and rock the wheel from the
bottom to break it loose.  Once it's loose, you should be able to
pull from the bottom and slide it off.  That's assuming the wheels
are mounted in the 'out' position.  If they're 'in', pull from the
top.
