49 Farmall C rear Axel

smcIND · Oct 27, 2017

While removing the rear wheels and centers on my Farmall C I notice that the left side axel seems real tight.
Like the tire is real hard to spin free wheeling. I have it on jack stands . The right one spins freely but not the left.
What would something I should look at. I know this tractor has set for the last 8-10 years .
Thanks

Start with the brakes. If it sat 10 years, no telling what made it's way into the housing. After that, you're looking at getting into the trans.

If it is a smooth resistance, it is almost certain the left brake. Make sure the pedal is returning all the way, and that when pushed they both travel at least 2 inches before beginning to stop. Check all pivot points and use PB blaster to free any that are rusty, then oil them with engine oil. Jim
