[Farmall] Farmall H transmission oil leak

[Jerry Rhodes]

Chuck, as Aaron said the lower shaft is the hyd pump drive, on mine that was
my leak, I removed the shaft and no leak after startup you may want to try
that to see if the leak is the pump. As Aaron said remove the carterkeys and
slide the rings in and the shaft will fall out, restart the tractor and look
for your leak, good luck

Hello,
   The upper shaft is the powered shaft from the engine, the lower shaft is
from the transmission to the hydriclic lift-all pump. The lift-all pump is a
simple pump for raising plows, cultivators, loaders, or aftermarket three
points. The lower shaft can be removed by removing the cotter pins and then
sliding the metal cuffs toward the center of the shaft. If you don't plan on
using the pump it is recomended by IH that the shaft remain removed. That
being said, I have a #31 Power loader on my '52 H about a quarter to half
the time and haven't bothered to remove the shaft when i'm not using the
pump and haven't experanced any ill effects.
Hope this helps, and good luck
