I have a IH Series 300 Utility that appears to have a leaky seal on the right rear wheel (see pic - 1956 IH 300U). The I&T international Harvester Shop manual is pretty pathetic in my opinion. It gives a very basic description of how to remove the rear wheel and a sketchy illustration of the oil seal, which I assume is the problem.
In addition, unless I missed something, I couldn’t even find in the manual what type of transmission oil to use, fill and drain plug location, or how to check transmission fluid level. I’m very disappointed with the manual to say the least.
My first inclination is just to periodically check on the oil level and maintain it at a proper level, since it appears to be a slow leak, and then fix the problem in late fall when I won’t need the tractor (hopefully, I’ll find more information, or a better manual, on how to do that by then). This would
Any suggestion or experience out there on this type of problem.
Thanks,
Paul
