Hello I just got a free m today when hauling it home I noticed water was leaking out of rear end seals around the wheels? If anyone has instructions please help me out on how to install new seals
 
560,First you need to drain the rear end/tran and try to determine what damage has been done by water. It certainly is not good for bearings and gears. If your in a place where it could freeze housings can be broken. If it is a running tractor see if it will move in all gears. then put some diesel in and run around a little to clean. Then put gear oil in. If you want to do a better job take cover off. 1630
 
Seals aren't your problem right now... I'd
be looking to see where water is getting in
the rear and what damage it has caused. A
bad inner bearing on the axle shaft caused
by water puts the bull gear through the
bottom of case then it's game over. Also
castings could be cracked and broken. Needs
to be drained, cleaned and 13 gallons of
fresh 80/90wt or 85/140wt. Seals can be
bought from dealer, like $20 each but you
have to remove the hub to install them.
 
I would agree with all the others that water is the issue, complete drain the transmission, then go from there.
 
UTF will work (303, hy-tran, etc) but all of your seals will need to be in good condition or you will leak a lot.

Water will build up over time from condensation and you will want to look inside and do some cleaning before putting it into operation. You can remove the belt pulley drive (or cover) as well as the PTO without too much trouble for initial access. If it's a real mess you will want to pull the top cover off.
 
You don't need hydraulic oil in the transmission. Since there is no TA it will have no improvement. I use 85W140.
