My A limps and leaks

Posted by Bill S on June 16, 2002 at 13:19:21 from (206.243.130.131):

Been trying to understand why my Farmall A has a drip on the left rear axle.

When I park it, there is a nice puddle of it dripping onto the rim.

So I used gasket maker squeeze tube to put the cap onto the rear axle and tighten it. And it stopped the leak for awhile until I drove it the next time.

And today I was driving it in 4th gear zipping along to the house down the road and I noticed the the A seems to have a consistent limp or up and down motion on the left rear axle. At higher speed it is more apparent than low speed.

I don't think there is a flat spot on the new rear tire or new rear rim (both are new and identical).

So I'm a wondering if I have bent rear left axle? Or, what inside would cause it to have a up and down motion as I drive it?

I can't describe it well enough but I don't know what to do about it. Can you help me?
