Keith: One thing to remember with most tractors, and especially these offsets. When it comes to lube oils, too much is not better. If you operate the engine with crankcase overfull they will pop crank seals. Those don't stop leaking when you drain oil off. If you operate hydraulics overfull, it will pop a plug on front side of unit in behind front rochshaft. Full with hydraulics is always check levels with rockshafts in rear position.
The transmission-rear end and final drives are a bit more forgiving, they only leak as long as they are overfull. Bear in mind the seals can go bad, however there have been many a guy tore into changing seals when in fact overfull was the problem.
Steering box is a bit different, they leaked from the time tractor was 5 years old. Poor design is the problem. Best cure is install a grease zerk on drain or fill to level plug, pump in 3 tubes of grease, then add about 4 pumps every time you grease front end.

When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
