[Farmall] Farmall Super M Axle Leak

Tue Apr 18 18:55:32 PDT 2006

Ed & Dave:

That seal number must be correct.  Everything went together just fine.  I'm 
renting a hydraulic engine hoist tomorrow to put the wheels back on.  Then 
Thursday I'll prime & paint the rims and get those new Firestones on the 
tractor!
