[Farmall] Farmall 200 fan bearing

[Jim Becker]

Haven't seen any replies on this one.

Oil leaking out the back of the assembly is usually at the shaft.  This 
indicates it is overfull.  If you have the filler hole turned up high enough 
to put oil in, it is going to be higher than the proper level.  After adding 
oil, you turn the hole down to the bottom and let excess oil run out. 
Proper oil level is determined by a stand pipe at the filler hole.
