Recently purchased Farmall C. Tractor made grinding noise in axle housing in every gear. Drained axle reservoir. First quart was pure water. Next gallon was goop. Remainder was 50-yearold oil. Then got two bolts out. Yes, two bolts. Both were 3/8"dia X 7/8"long fine thread. Someone earlier on here said they were probably from the retainer on the bull gear (they were correct & Thank You!). Took PTO safety shield off. Took Belt Pulley Drive housing off. Took a while, but finally got the PTO Drive Housing off. This allowed me to see, through the hole, the retainer washer lying on the rear axle gear housing floor. Then found out my hand is too large to get through the access hole into the housing. Since I can't get my hand through the hole I don't see any way I can hold that washer in position and start the bolt back into the axle. I see no way to correct the situation but to remove the entire rear axle gear cover. Oh, brother, that looks like a real job. Anyone have any other suggestions? For a while I couldn't understand why those two bolts would come out but I believe it's because the previous owner let the brake bands wear down to where the metal of the band wore completely into the disk and this caused the vibration on the axle to where it caused to bolts to back out? I'm open to all ideas for any soltuion.
