Ah the joy's of working on your back under a greasy tractor and wiping up years of sludge that drips on your head, and runs down your arm when you start using degreaser.

Ah the satisfaction of knowing that after several scrapes, knuckle-busters, maybe even a cut from the sharp cast iron left over edges that you will have it spotless under there.

And having to strip down to your shorts before going back in the house cuz you reek of old grease, oil, dirt, slime, degreaser, dried blood.....

If you are like me and have never replaced seals before, it is harder than it looks. Very important to get it started perfect and drive it in small amounts with something that covers the seal as close as you can get. I am lucky that my neighbor has all kinds of seal drivers and custom ones he made. I ruined a couple $10 seals thinking I could just linda tap around the edges with a hammer to get them in, uh that don't work so good :oops:

Most likely you will have a groove wore in the shaft, so drive the seal accordingly to miss that groove or it will still keep leaking.

Any good bearing place can cross the CaseIH seals.

My pics are for everyone to use so I don't mind at all that they get used as long as no money making is involved :wink:

Yeah, just spending money is involved! :lol:
Thanks for the heads up. I think I'm going to hold off for now. I think what I am going to do is when I tear down the tractor to paint it (some day) I am going to bust in and replace all the seals. Might as well do it then, right? I think that's the thought process that got you to where you're at with the '43?
Anyway, as long as it runs and hold together... and doesn't pur any more oil out, I'll be happy.
