RC, I am currently restoring a Farmall B. It just so happens I was disassembling the final drive assy tonight. The final drive assy that the axle is in has it's own oil. It is filled through a plug on the front inside of the casting. To change the oil you have to remove the lower pan. The axle is removed by taking the inside cover off and removing the bolt on the end of the axle. Then remove the four bolts on the outside seal cap. Pull the axle out from the outside. I used one of those hammer pullers attached to the outside hub as the axle doesn't just slide out. There are several washers and parts on the axle that you need to keep in order for reassembly. The final drive bull gear is about 12 inches in diameter and will come out the bottom when the axle is pulled. Then for the hard part - you have to pull the bearing off the axle. It is pressed on the axle with a fairly good press fit. I pressed it out on my hydraulic press using one of those bearing pullers to get behind the bearing cap. If you don't have anything like that you can probably take to a local auto machine shop and have them press it off. You can use regular transmission 90 weight or equal in there after you get back together. I was able to get all gaskets and seals at the local Case IH dealer. Hope that helps. Roger
