Restoring a International 140 Seals, final drive

Farmer Man · Jan 31, 2010

Help!!!I am restoring my first tractor, rewired complete, runs great no smoke or knocks. NOW I WISH TO TACKLE FINAL DRIVES. My left axle has some play How many spacers are enough as I do not want to get it too tight. Do spacers fit on axle inside inner bearing? (No. 23 Washer at CNH) I understand the outer bearing retainer holds axle in place.(No 29 hub at CNH) I have a seed plate drive which I will remove and drive axle out. Other than a new seal Is there anything else I should do to prevent leaks.
Sorry for the long post and thank you for any suggestions and tips you might share.

this is a fairly easy job, you will need an engine hoist though to remove the final drive. Search through the archives for Super A or 140 final drives and you can get a lot of information. There is only one spacer which goes between the drive gear and the inside bearing. Sounds like yours might be missing, but the axle should be tight when you put it all back together. Here is a link to a post regarding the seed plate drive and how to install a seal.
