[Farmall] Transmission oil leak - Farmall H

[Mike Sloane]

I would first try tightening the bolts around the axle housing. If that 
doesn't work, you have your work cut out for you. It isn't complicated, 
but you will have to drain the transmission, remove the wheel and axle 
housing and replace the gasket. They don't normally leak much, unless 
the axle housing has been cracked, which is probably the "worst case" 
situation. Fortunately, there are a lot of Farmall H tractors in salvage 
yards, so finding a replacement won't be difficult or expensive. If you 
do have to replace the housing, I suggest you buy all new gaskets and 
seals, as the old ones from a parts tractor are likely to be shot. I can 
send you the page from the parts manual if you contact me at
