I just purchased a 1944 2N that has a leak where the three point attaches to the rear axle housing. From the I & T manual it appears that I need a new gasket at that point and that I have to remove the axle housing to do it. Is this correct or are there other things that I should look at?

John:
No rocket science, but you're in for a lot of grunt work. That lower pin is held in on the inside of the axle trumpet by a large castle nut. In order to fix the leak, you are going to have to remove the wheel, pull the axle, take of the brake backing plate, and remove the axle housing, sometimes called the trumpet. If the pin is not to wallowed out, you can cut yourself a new gasket for the outside and retighten the castle nut (I think it's about 200 ft. lbs.) and you've cured the leak. If the pin hole is too wallowed out, then you have to develop a plan to fix that problem. I am told that depending on which side trumpet you remove, you can reach thru the housing and replace the other side castle nut and gasket while you are at it. You may want to consider that. It's about a day's worth of grunt work. My $.02

I had the same thing on a 9N, Pulled the housing and replaced the gasket. I was told by other tractor guys that they just use RTV blue and it does the same thing, Which I guess means you wouldn't have to remove the housing completely. Just free it so you can get a good bead and tighten it back up. Make sure you clean the surface where the gasket goes.
