Scotty, thanks so much for your differential diagnosis. I have never been into the rear of either my 1952 8N or the A. So, I am in the learning process here. No, I don't have the wheel pulled yet, but I'm lucky that it is the LEFT wheel because, as you well know, I'm not dealing with an 165 pound casting on that side!!! After I stop the tractor from my almost daily rides, I see the oil that has dripped onto the rim, of course at the bottom of the rim. As you know, like water leaks in an attic, you have to investigate the source, not where it has leaked down to. I have NOT added any oil lately other than refilling the 3 pints in the left pan, after I had it apart for sandblasting and painting. I have not added any oil to the tranny for 4 months.

Thanks, Tom
