rear end oil leak

George MacDonald · Feb 28, 2014

I have an oil leak where the right lower lift arm attaches to the rear housing on my 1947 tea2085. I would like to know how to repair it and what parts if any I will need including gaskets etc.
Thank you for any help

After the hard drive went out, I lost pictures I had of this process. Good news, you may not need to spend any money, bad news, this might take 2 or 3 days.
The diff needs to be supported, the oil drained, the trumpet/axle casting needs to come off- with most stuff attached to it- safely, straight and level, not easy without a hard surface floor and roller jack, then clean the hole and stud, retighten the nut, and I double nut them. It took 50 or 60 years to unscrew, and I don't want to have to do the same one twice in my lifetime.
Try looking in the archives here and massey forum, you might dig up my pictures and some posts on the subject from a couple years ago.
