I have a 1948 John Deere "G" tractor with Power Trol on the rear and if I put oil in the Power Trol unit, it leaks into the differential. I've done a fair amount of mechanical repairs to this and other tractors but I've never torn into the rear end of a tractor. How big of a job is it to repair this problem, and should I attempt it myself or hire a mechanic? Also my rear axles sometimes drip oil onto the rear wheels. Is this a big job to repair?

Jim I just had mine apart replaced the seals going into the rear end on the power take off shaft, this is most likely where the oil is leaking into the rear end, very easy to repair. The other place could be a gasket between the cylinder housing on the rockshaft alot harder to repair. Maybe due to the oil leaking into the rear end your oil level might be too high and is forcing its way out the axles, so check that. I have pictures available email me at BigGrnG@aol.com and I'll send them to you. John

Luckily, the repairs are related so once the power-trol is off the tractor you can fix those leaky axle seals too. The Power-Trol can leak into the differential through a pinhole in the casting, AND in a few other spots as well. There are some really knowlegeable guys on here who can tell you exactly where to look. Fixing your G will be kind of a big job inasmuch as the wheels have to come off and so forth, but it isn't complicated. You will at long last have the thrill of holding one of those big Model G bull gears in your hands. We will be doing that very same repair to our "A" as soon as our all-weather shop is finished and we can work in, well, ALL weather.
