Robertw and the H

Hi Robert, I saw your question and thought I would reply on a new thread as there are other opinions about how water gets in a rear end. One of my H's had close to 4 gallons of water in it. It had sat in my garage for over a year and I decided to change the rear oil before taking it to the farm. Oil being lighter than water floats on top so all the water will be in the bottom of the rear end, pulled the plug and very clear water ran out into the pail, I let it run until oil started to come. I then drained the oil and put in new. My other H was being used a bit at the farm and when I came to change it, a carmel coloured oil emulsion ran out, pretty goopy stuff. How water gets in usually gets a discussion going. There is condensation and after years, mabey decades a quantity of water builds up. I think that there is water getting in around the shifter, even if there is a rubber gromet and I think that around the pulley housing, the sunken deck bolts and even the oil plug could all allow seepage of water. Now some will argue that there is no leakage at the deck bolts, however after 40 or 50 years there can be a lot of water in those rear ends. The other thing is that because those H's and M's were so dependable that owners stopped worrying about servicing the rear end and a lot of old farmers or farmers in olden times simply didn't change rear end oil, owned a tractor for years and then sold it to the next guy that didn't worry about it. I changed both my H's my M and my B250 and I think I was the first to do so on all of them. Tractors that are inside seem to have a lot less water problems. My M was my Dad's and it was inside every night after its days work, Dad always insisted that the tractor be "put away"...so that's where the water comes from...I'm sure there will be some more opinions which of course are welcome on this discussion board.....Mike in Exeter Ontario
