TN Terry, you have two positions that the guys have offered and each has its own merit. Another axle is a sure fix, a seal placed where there is no groove may work..which is the easiest...a seal isn't expensive and not a lot of work on an H, I changed both sides on a Saturday morning. If you are willing to gamble that it might work you won't be at a great loss if it doesn't..then you can tackle an axle swap...one thing I will say is that my Case I-H dealer told me to install the seal where there is no groove and unlike the original felt(wide and Thick) seal the new seal is very thin in comparison, but don't let that fool you, new technology seal will outlast the tractor. Now the new thin seal can be positioned anywhere that the old seal has not cut a groove and still give you a good seal. In addition I'm thinking that a used axle will most likely have some seal wear on it as well. You may be further ahead to try the new seal. I know that lots of guys say there is room for two thin seals but I am of the opinion that one new seal is all that is required. I always use one seal in all applications on both of the H's I did and I did virtually every seal from the torque tube back including PTO. I have not had one leak or one failure using a single new seal. I have also had to do the drive shaft seals..the advice that others gave is good, think about it, you may get a smooth replacement axle or you may find something you already have...I'd try the new seal first..good luck and best wishes in the coming year...Mike in Exeter Ontario
