Greetings, I have not posted for a while and have had my 1948 8N parked for over a year while I try to decide what to do with it. I decided to get it running and fix the brakes. The rear seals have leaked badly and the brake shoes are impregnated with gear oil. I have new parts on order including shoes, seals and gaskets to try and remedy my problem. I also intend to check the fluid level to insure it is not overfull. One of my concerns is the hub in the photo I attached has a imperfection on the seal surface that I can feel as I run a finger tip over it. The photo looks much worse than it actually is. I am hoping this will seal up properly even if there is a very small groove on the surface. I plan to keep the tractor to do some light work around our place but am not wanting to invest a lot of money into the project. Any input would be appreciated.
