Ok I drained the tranny tonight and started taking the pans off the final drives to clean them and change the oil...
Got the left side pan off and noticed right away that the bull gear will move side to side maybe 1/4" or a bit more. Is that normal or is something worn out?
I tried the prybar trick on the wheel to see if it was the bearings, but nothing there moved. Also pulled the cap off the inside of the axle and that bearing looks good from the outside, no wobble their either, just the bull gear moves.
We also jacked up each side and spun the wheels to listen for where the noise was coming from... I thought originally it was the left axle housing, but it makes the same noise by spinning both wheels, and I'm pretty sure the whine is coming from the trans/diff area. I flushed those out with kerosene and gonna pop the trans cover off tomorrow to see what I can see inside.
JRSutton, you're right that the previous owner had WAY overfilled the trans, and the final drives... but even if that solved the leaks, the tractor has no brake at all on the right side (somethings broke loose inside I think) and the left is so oil soaked it's not doing much... so at the very least we need to pull it apart to clean and fix those things, I figured I might as well replace all 4 seals at the same time to protect the new brakes.
