REAR AXLE H FARMALL

HOW DO YOU CHECK AXLE GREASE IN A h FARMALL MAYBE 40 SERIES

Your best friend is a manual when you own a old tractor. It'll tell you how to check/ fill rear end and the hydraulics. Need to know weather its a farmall H or a 140 or what.

IT IS JUST AN h OLD MODLE

The rear axles are greased with a conventional grease gun on fittings near the wheel end of the housing, where the axle comes out. A good quality lithium, or Moly based grease is fine. I would use 5 pumps in each bearing about every 40 hrs of operation.
The rear final drive and differential, as well as the trans are lubed with 80-90 gear oil. The check level hole is on the left near the clutch rod, A pipe plug. The fill hole is on top opposite side from shifter. Round plug with square drive used to remove it. If it is within a half inch of the hole it is good to go. If the oil is milky or yellowish, it needs to be replaced. Drain in all the plugs under the casting. Though the fill is in one place, the drains need to be opened to access different internal sumps.

I have never found courtesy to be misplaced.
Real answers are the foundation of progress. Thanks, Jim

Okay, what was so "uncivilized" about ryanwheelock's answer?

He wasn't discourteous. He simply recommended that you get a manual.

Just because you don't answer the question as asked doesn't make the answer useless, or the responder some "big green meanie."

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for life.

If I just tell you where the rear axle grease fittings are, then you'll come back and ask where the front axle grease fittings are. When I tell you that, you'll come back and ask how to check the engine oil. Then you'll want to know how to check the fluid level in the rear end. Then it'll be how do I put oil in the engine. Then how do I put oil in the rear end. Then where do I check the hydraulics. Then how do I drain the rear end. Then how much and what type of oil goes in the rear end. Then how much and what type of oil goes in the engine. Then how do I drain the hydraulics. Then how much and what type of oil goes in the hydraulics...

There's nothing wrong with asking lots of questions, but it's a lot of typing and a LOT of wasted time waiting for answers for simple basic questions about the tractor...

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a book or reference that would answer all those questions for you in one convenient spot?

That's what the owner's manual does for you, and more. It tells you what all the controls do. It tells you how to properly hook up implements. It tells you what size tires and how to inflate them. It gives you a wiring diagram of the tractor. It gives you pointers on how to safely drive the tractor.

I know this is what a manual is for but I rely on the knowledg of experience reather than a book yes I can read a book but still a book will not put it in language that common people can under stand unless you are one of the people who can read and understand everthing you read some are not as fortunate
