My 47 Wc has an open hole on both final drives.It does'nt appear to have threads.I assume these holes are not supposed to be open as gear lube is running out of them.I have a manual but don't see a plug or anything.What are they for,and should i plug them up? thanks

Chuck, The WC final drive has a level plug for filling, and checking the fluid in each final drive. It is on the upper part of the lower half of the final drive, inside (away from the tire). Jay

he is right the hole you see are in the bottom of the brakes the oil you see is coming from the axle shaft that goes to the differential more than likely. which could mean you have a bad roller brg. or just bad seals.at either rate neither are easy or fun to change.

I have a '49 B. It too has open holes in the final drives. On my tractor the holes are for water drainage, if the tractor is out in the weather water will get in there and needs to come out. A couple of years ago I rebuilt parts of the rear end, bearings, seals, shims and brakes. The indicators the prompted me to do this were lube oil coming out where it shouldn't, extremely poor braking, and slight looseness of the rear wheels, I could push the top of the wheel toward the seat and it would move just a little. This was apparently caused by small critters nesting in the final drives, stopping the holes, and cutting off the drainage path. I now park the tracor under cover and check the holes now and then. I don't know if all this applies to you or not, but maybe it will help.
