Why not just put new seals in your old Horse? Both the tine shaft seals and 
the axle seals are easy to replace. I've done a couple tillers like this 
(mine, Dad's, my brother's, and one I fixed up to sell). On the axle seals 
you knock out the roll pins on the wheel hub and pull the wheels. From there 
you just pull the old seals and drive new ones in. The tine shaft seals 
aren't much different. You take the big bolt or nut off the end of each tine 
set and the whole tine set pops off the tapered shaft stub. From there you 
just pop the old seals out and drive new ones in. It helps if you pressure 
wash both areas before you start working and put some tape over the holes in 
the wheel shafts so that you don't slice the new seal lip as you slide it 
down the shaft to the gearbox.
