I'm replacing the left rear housing on the A. Does anyone know where I could order the oil seals and felt packings, bearings and stuff? Would like to order online. The one on the tractor is cracked and will be replacing all the old parts into a new housing. Has anyone ever done this? If so is there any tips or tricks out there that would help me? Thanks. I'll be checking back daily. Jim.

Just helped a friend rebuild the final drives on his B, very similar. I reused the felts, soak them in mineral spirits and use a round bar like a rolling pin to squeeze the oily liquid out and let them dry. If you like new, go to a Case dealer. You can order online from Carter and Gruenwald. The bearings I got from McMaster Carr online. I only replaced the inner and outer axle bearings. $20 apiece for the outer and $11 for the inner one. Compare to $46 for the outer at the dealer. Most people don't know that most of the bearings on the old IH tractors are standard metric sizes (mm) and readily available. The outer axle bearing is 50 x 90 x 20, the inner is 35 x 72 x 17 The ones I got from McMaster are INA brand, good stuff. You can get the oil seals at your dealer but beware, if the groove that's worn into the sealing surface of the axle is too deep and line's up with the lip of the new seal it will still leak. If you have access to a lathe, turn down the OD of the axle shaft in the sealing area to the next available seal size. I use a local bearing supplier for these seals. Hope this helps.

If the tractor had the original felt seals there will likely be some corrosion and pitting but maybe not any real deep groove. I had a set of axles ground very slighty (maybe .005 to .010 on the OD)at an automotive speed shop and just used the standard seals. Nice job. No leaks.

The original seals were actually leather and yes sometimes the shafts are not grooved too bad. I guess it depend's on how much use the tractor saw. I've seen some areas where the leather seal has worn into the shaft .070, the front crank pulley is usually the worst, I suppose due to the higher RPM.

That's right, leather, and I'm probably just lucky to have gotten away with a clean-up grind.
I recall the front crank pulley now. That was a mess.

If you don't have access to a lathe to turn shafts, you can get Speedi-Sleeves at any bearing supplier.Tell them the diameter of the shaft. But they are expensive!
