rear seals?

The 8N/NAA axles nut did however use a cork gasket under the axle nut. This is what prevented oil from leaking from the spline on the axle.

I always use silicone glue instead of the cork gasket when installing the axle nut and it does great.

I would pull the nut and give the end of the spline a good big bead of silicone glue and then replace the nut and allow about 12 hours to cure before use.

Do what Dell says and don't over fill the drive train. The way determine when there is the right amount of oil in the drive train is to remove one of the lower bolts that hold the lift inspection plate on and allow any excess oil to drain from this bolt hole. Let it drain until it no longer runs out and you will be just right on the oil level. You can then mark the dip stick to this level for future reference.

Me? I'd pull the bottom bolt of the 6" round dipstick plate and let any overfill dribble out overnite. Then I'd clean everything up, both the dribble and the axle nut with squirt can of brakecleaner/degreaser. And watch for a repeat of leaks. Then if'n it still leaked, I'd consider replacing the axle seals. It not hard, mostly bull work. I&T FO-4 has proceedure..... ...Dell

You mentioned the I&T FO-4 manual, and I'd like to get one. The manuals listed on this site under "Tractor Manuals" show a FO-S-2N,8N,9N as the service manual.

Is this the same thing?

Perfect - I'll check our local TSC for one.

Thanks!
