The rear axle seals on my early model 8N [48 or 49/, have leaked and soaked brakes. Replaced seals and brakes. The cork seal that is outside the bearing cone and behind the hub leaked immediately. The wheel bearings were packed too. Called two tractor mechanics and they had no solutions. Anyone who might have a solution to this problem would be appreciated. Thanks

In addition to what Mountainman said, oil is possibly leaking between shims, backing plate and bearing hub.

Ron,

There could be several reasons for the leak.
A rough surface for the seal to ride on.
A worn (or loose) hub/axle spline.
An axle not shimed correctly.
Hydraulic oil overfilled.
Gasket slipped during installation.

From your description, I would rule out the first but the other four are still possibilities.
