Colekicker, I might get booed off the forum for this but here goes.I would drain and clean the rear end up and fill it with fresh oil. Then I would use it as a normal tractor. My experience is that rust will wear off of a gear tooth pretty quick and although it may look ugly it will still work. I told you about one of my H's having almost two and a half gallons of water in it. I drained and flushed it and filled it with new oil. For the first while there was a kind of throb sound from the rear which I believe was the rusty half of the bull gear going through a revolution.After drivingthe tractor down the highway a few miles and back it seemed quieter. I use the tractor around the farm and have noticed no noise, nor any problem with the rear end. I have not had to replace any bearings either..they will polish up too with use. Your H is not poor for a first tractor, H's and M's get water in the rear if they sit outside any length of time. I wouldn't hesitate to flush, fill and drive it, don't make work and expense for yourself when all it will cost you is a pail of gear oil... best of luck and give it a try...Mike in Exeter Ontario
