I just went trough all that on my 51 H. Mine had maybe a gallon of oil in it and at least 3 gallons of water! The left axle seal leaked like crazy after I changed the oil but quit after a day or so. Usually a leaky seal means a sloppy bearing. My outer wheel bearing was toast. the inner is ok but turns rough so I am changing it too, infact I am doing it today. I got my bearings from Car Quest for $106 each, IH wanted over 200 each. also My H has a really noisy trans and I had some bearing retainer pieces come out with the oil water mix so there is bad bearings in there somewhere. I decided I am just going to go through the whole thing and change all the bearings since it had so much water and condensation in it. The gears I have seen so far have not on bit of rust,and look like new, (water damage) but the bearing balls do have dark spots and will fail down the road. and I think that is what I will do a lot of with it, Tractor drives! Also, I think I would just fix the engine that has the knocking, it sounded like a neat tractor with the different tranny and all, be a shame to gut it out.
