My M has a slow leak on both rear axle seals. Just a small leak, a drop or two of gear oil suspended on the bottom of the axle housing when I think to look at it. It doesn't sit in a garage so I don't know how much it drips (sits under an open sided leantoo) but I've never seen it drip so it's not a fast leak, atleast not standing still.

My question, should I pull off the back tires and replace to axle seals??? Will it stop the leak or will new seals likely seep a little also?

thanks,
mark

Put 2 or 3 shots of gun grease in the zerks on the end of the axle housings. The heavy grease seems to stop the lighter oil leaks at the seals.

Thats what I was wondering! Saturday morning when I was working on the old girl (replaced all but 2 grease certs on the tractor, ran out of new grease certs...) I shot some grease in the axle ends and was wondering if that would help. But looking back I didn't wipe the existing oil off the bottom of the axle housing so when I looked at it last night I wonder if I was looking at oil that mainly seeped out before I greased her.

I'll wipe everything dry tomorrow evening before taking her out brush hogging.

We brush hogged last night until nearly 10:00pm. The lights sure work alot better with the loader frame off!!!

thanks!

Unless the M is a show only tractor I don't think I would worry about, not at this point anyway. If the leak becomes considerably worse then you might want to do something about it.
