1952 8N PTO Seal Replacement

I Have a 1952 8N 6 volt positive ground side mount with a leaking PTO seal.

Does anyone know a good article on how to replace the seal or can anyone provide me some guidance before I attempt this on my own?

Thanks in advance for your help.

With all of the fluid drained out, (see tips 3 & 4) remove the 4 bolts holding the PTO shaft in & pull it to the rear & out of the tractor. The seal has 2 C spring clamps around it. Take your needle nose pliers & remove the one in the front. (be careful; screw it up & you're not going to find a replacement at the local hardware store) Then, hang the shaft & bearing housing in your vice & tap the butt end of the shaft; the bearing cap will come off (and the shaft will land on your foot). Then, remove the other spring clip from the other side of the seal. At this point, remember that you never bought a seal driver & go get a BF socket & drive the seal out. If you have the new style seal, the white side goes out. Put some grease on it. The open side of the seal goes to the oil.

Thanks Bruce!

You were right that darn shaft just about got my toe when I tapped it off.

No more cardboard under the PTO for me.
