8n loading angle

I recently purchase a rebuilt 8n that has new oil in the main 3 reservoirs with new seals and brakes on the rear axle. My question concerns the fact that this tractor has to be hauled from 1 dealer to another, then picked up by my hauler to get it to me way out West. What I need to know is can the tractor be loaded front first on ramps, and how extreme of an angle can the 8n take before the oil in the trans, hydraulic and rear flows over into the rear axle and ruins the seals and brakes which are brand new? Should I tell the haulers to load the tractor rear end first? Thank you in advance, Mike

If the seals are new as you say, no problem. If it is only being driven up a ramp onto a trailer or truck, same thing. Those things will leak when old (duh), but a bit of ramp climbing is no worse than dragging a plow up a grade. HTH
 
Captterm,As Mr.Bob says,If the seals are new as you say, no problem.It would be a good way to test and check the new seals if they are installed correctly or not.If there is oil running out from the brake drums when you get it someone would be getting a loud phone call.
