Some of the seals just leak like the belt pulley seal and were never intended to be a tight seal. Others like the PTO and wheel seals were not designed to hold standing fluid. The fluid level has to be maintained at the proper level. I would check by removing the level plug found on the left of the transmission housing. If it is high do not remove the excess oil here but remove it at the bottom drain plug as others have suggested. If it has been stored out in the rain it will have a build up of water in the trans/rear end case. The gear stick was not designed to be water tight at the top. When these tractors were used almost every day the water would be evaporated out due to heating. You can learn to cultivate with loose steering or at least I did. The 200 I used had about a quarter of a turn of slop and dad did not like plowed up corn. Crooked rows were fine but plowed up corn was an absolute no-no. Your soil has to be kind of soft for this to work but when planting do use wheel plows aligned directly behind the wheels. Your row spacing will have to match the tread width of the wheels for easy cultivating. If you use 8" sweeps on the wheel plows and plow them deep during planting with a rather steep bite, you can cultivate almost without touching the steering wheel. Use full sweeps and not some of the high speed sweeps (thin shank)for wheel plows. The tractor will follow back down the same track it laid down when planting. Just be sure to center up the planters and cultivators.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
