Gman, there is a drainback hole in the housing below the righthand main bearing that lets engine oil return to the crankcase from the reduction gear housing. Once in a while these holes will get filled with sludge and not let the oil drain back and will overflow the dam in the reduction gear cover and get into the transmission. Take off your crankcase cover and you should be able to feel down toward the bottom and tell if the hole is clogged or not. Something to check. Hope this helps. Mike

Mike, Im getting ready to re paint and touch up restore (and install the JD Spoke Rear Wheels) my unstyled B maybe this winter yet. I still get a little oil slung out from under and behind the clutch pulley and believe that may also be due to a clogged return hole somewhere and that theres no (crank) seal but just a slinger there behind the clutch. I never see any oil leaks anywhere else around the reduction cover or at its bottom. Is this the same hole your talking about here????? I guess it would be inside the crankcase there on its lower pulley side???? PS I bought an unstyled B for its spoke wheels, the 4 bolt lock ring collar JD type (not F & H) that havent been moved in 60 yrs and the axles are very deep dark brown crystallized rusted pitted and Im sure welded and married to the hubs. The collars are turned in and we got the rings off but pulliung them off is I think impossible. We will start with a port a power against the axle tryign to pull them out, but I dont think that will budge them as we hit the inner wedges with a sledge. If worse comes to worse, we will cut the axles off and then try and press or beat the axles out of the hubs. Any ideas ????? Im mean they are the worst rust deep pitted I seen in a while and we do not want to bust the hubs. John T

you dont have to cut the shafts take the rear cover off and remove the bull gears then take the seal retanners off the end off the housing and remove shafts.then you can press them off.use a sand blaster on the shafts then lots of oil and lots of choice words.

Yeah I was considering that, but since the rest of it is pretty well junk, I wasnt too worried about saving the axles anyway, and if theres no axle left hardly at all sticking out either side, it will be easier to drive or press them out. Im gonna try the non evasive stuff first like pressing and pulling and vibrating and soaking and maybe axles out of housing before cutting them, but its the worst deepest pitted crystalized axle ends I ever saw. Thanks and I will keep you posted. Ol John T

John T.,
I had some ugly axles like that on an old B. I would spray them real good with PB Blaster evry time I went by that tractor and thought about it. I did that for about 6 months and the things pulled a lot easirer that I ever imagined they would. I use a 3 sided puller that uses bolts to go through the 3 holes in the hubs and out through the puller with nuts one both ends. I have a pusher-puller with a 1 inch fine threaded bolt in it and it works pretty good. Hope this helps you. Good luck

The only place it can get into the transmission is from the right main and through the primary reduction gear cover. Pull the bottom plug on the cover and see how much oil is in it. This should confirm the problem.

How much oil is being lost and over how long of a period. Unless there is some type of crack in the casting (which seems unlikely) the main would seem like the logical source oil getting into the rear end.
