super h oil leak on steering on front of the tractor

I recently purchased this super h and it had oil leaking out below the grill. I removed the front tins and found it is leaking were the shaft goes through the frame down to the front end. What does take to fix this leak
 
Either massive disassembly and replacement of bushings and seals, or draining the existing fluid from the front bearing nut, and rincing and drying (no drain on it), then putting Mobil-1 synthetic chassis lube (red) into the box through the top (which was removed to clean out the old oil) this material will stay in the box and be fine for a very og time. If the steering is loose and wobbly, with more than 6" of play before turning the front wheels, I would rebuild it. If pretty tight the grease is a great solution. Jim
 
I just put a oil seal in the top of the bolster on my H. Found out there was not one there. Jacked up the front end, blocked it up, removed tires, removed the wheel pedestal (heavy), and undid the top nut and dropped out the top part of the bolster shaft. Rigged up a puller of all-thread, washers, sockets to fit the OD of the oil seal, a socket with duct tape wrapped around to fit the ID of the oil seal, to center it inside the openings, and pulled 'er right up into place. A few heavy parts and pieces, but it seemed to work pretty straightforward.
I whipped up a 50/50 blend of 90-wt. and wheel bearing grease, and used that for a grease. Not that I'm recommending it, but I tried it. I don't know, the stuff may separate, but I tried it.
 
There is a bushing and seal in the bottom end of the upper bolster that holds the lubricant in. I replaced both in my H and filled the box up with gear lube. It is quite a job to do that, so you might want to pack in some corn head grease and call it quits.
