[Farmall] Farmall 200 fan bearing

[Bill Bruer]

Thanks, Jim.  I'm aware of the need to drain the excess, I just didn't know 
it would run out around the shaft before the excess was drained off.  I'm 
going to loosen the belts and check for any play or roughness without 
tension on the bearing.

Bill

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.
