Could my Allis have spun a bearing?

Posted by RJW on January 18, 2007 at 18:50:08 from (74.39.2.60):

I started my 185 Allis diesel a few weeks ago and heard a growling sound. Kinda sounded like a growly starter drive that didn't disengage. I shut the tractor off and restarted. It did it a little bit and then the sound quit. I've been using the tractor since running hard on the grinder/mixer and everything sounds fine. After I shut the tractor down today I noticed a drizzle of engine oil running out of the hole in the bottom of the bellhousing. Appears to be a rear main seal leak. My "worse case scenario" outlook on life has gotten me wondering if I have a spun rear main and now the seal is going to hell because of it. I did an in-frame overhaul about 1000 hours ago and replaced the rear main then so I am somewhat surpised that it is failing now. What do you guys think- just a coincidence?
