You're pretty much on the money. Richard. The differential and axle bearings are done from the sides, so no split. Two average healthy people can handle it without a hoist, but I'll caution again that you must be careful and block things up well on a level surface. While doing one side leave the wheel and tire on the other to help balance and ballast things -- jack the other side only high enough to get the whell and rim off, then let the jack back down to level. BLOCK under the center jack pad on the bottom of the tranny. You may be lucky and find that it is only the lower axle bearings. On my tractor, these were the ones in worst shape and are fairly easy to do. You don't even need to separate the axle or final housing from the transmission. Just drop the pan, loosen the outer bearing retainer, remove the inner bearing cover. One nut off and the axle will drive out from the inside, dropping the bull gear. The only seals are the oil seal and felt washer on the bearing retainer. Everything else is gaskets. A parts manual gives a good picture of how it all goes together. If you should have to do the top bearings, I would suggest you pull the axle and bull gear first anyway. This gives you the flat bottom, and removes the possibility of crushing your pan if you should put it down hard (or even gently if its rusted thin). Neither the I&T or the IH Service manual for the A's goes into the fine details, but they are both worth having for the order of taking things apart. I'd get one or both of them as well as th parts book before baling into the project.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
