My seal on rear wheel of my 2n/9n whatever it is, is leaking. I bought the new seals from New Holland dealer. How much trouble is it to install the seals? Ford (New Holland) wanted $300 labor for the job. I thought that was high.
I have the tools to do the work and am not a dummy on most mechanical work but this one is a head scratcher. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I opted about 4 years ago to go the sure seal route as my brakes were soaked. No magic just bull work. If your bearings are good either the sure seal or the "Zane Seal" will work. Be sure to pack the bearing with a good grease before putting in the seal. Also, make sure the axle is as smooooo th as it can be - no pits where the seal rides. If it is pitted, as mine was, us a wire brush on a drill, JB Weld, and some emery to smooth it out. No leaks on mine in four years and it beat removing the factory setup.

IMHO

I would take the seals back and do my fix. It works and is a heck of a lot easier than having to get the bearings and retainers off the axle.

Fix---To fix the leak my unconventional way you pull the axle away from the axle housing about 6 or 8 inches and wrap the axle for about 6 inches from the outer end of the axle that is exposed with teflon tape.Wipe all the oil from the housing and then take a caulking tube full of silicone glue and pump it into the void between the axle and the housing. Keep the hub as close to the housing as you can till you get the silicone pumped in.Use the whole tube and then replace the axle into the housing and replace the bolts etc. Let the silicone cure overnight and then you can go about using the tractor. Be sure that the oil in the rearend etc is not over full as this will contribute to the axle leaking.

Get an I&T FO-4 manual to preview the procedure. You can also use Sure-Seals on the 9N/2N and other folks report good results with some type of silicone sealer applied around the seals. Another suggestion has been made to run the hydraulic system about 1 qt low and heavily pack the bearings and seals with grease.

I JUST FINISHED MY RESEAL JOB. FIRST DRAIN THE FLUID, PULL THE AXLES, TORCH OFF THE SHRINK TUBES THEN TORCH THE BEARINGS NO ONE IN MY AREA HAD A PULLER. I INSTALLED FACTORY SEALS, THEN PACKED NEW BEARINGS IN GREASE SLID THEM ON, USED A 2 IN GALVANIZED PIPE CONDUIT WITH THE NIPPLE SCREWED ON ON THE BRGS WENT RIGHT INTO PLACE, HEAT UP YOUR HEAT SHRINKS AND INSTALL THEM THE SAME WAY IT WAS SLICK. I ALSO INSTALLED SURESEALS OVER THE BRG ASSY SO THEY ARE DOUBLE SEALED IT IS FINISHED BUT WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS AND HELP YOU CAN DO IT
