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.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
