The leak is not to hard to fix. Check with OEM tractor parts for the seals. 
The break linings can be sent to NAPA and they reline them. Most any auto 
store can re line they. Not sure of the cost. I have to do mind this winter. 
OEM # 800-283-2122. These people seem to be the cheapest for farmall parts 
that I have found. Jerry

Hello all, I've been a subscriber on this list for years, but to now have 
not written. I just acquired a 1946 (according to seller, serial number is 
missing). It's on 12v coil ignition. Runs pretty well, but is not terribly 
close to original at this point. I am not planning to restore this, but plan 
to use it as a working tractor. That said, I do want to get it back to 
original equipment as time and finances permit.

A couple of things out of the gate.

1) There is a leak on the right side of the main frame/differential housing. 
Not too bad, but would like to resolve. How involved is pulling the axle and 
housing? Where can one find suitable gaskets? If nothing else I will replace 
the fluid as it has water contamination. I can always save the major work 
for later.

2) There is a pair of brake bands on Ebay right now for $107.00. Is that 
reasonable? I need to replace the brake on the left side since it is 
marginal at best.

Thanks for any feedback/input.

As a footnote, I have been trying to track down an H for years, but few show 
up in North Florida. I still hope to seek another one to restore or that is 
restored as soon as my tractor fund recovers from this round.

Cliff
