Mr Farmall: And a lot of folks just didn't have the time to play with that blasted gear box leaking every 5 years, regardless of who or how careful the installer was. I'm talking about commercial use, repairs done by IH technicians and buying these tractors new. I'll bet money that 95% of all Farmalls SA, 100, 130 and 140 leaked oil from the steering box by the time they were 5 years old. The one's that didn't weren't doing anything.

Instead of taking them apart every 5 years, fill them with grease, and yes I know of these tractors that have now gone 40 years and never leaked or been apart, and they damn well weren't doing household yard work. This is not a case of playing around, it's about making money. Every time you take that tractor apart unecessarily it cuts into the bottom line.

Even if your just playing around with a little Farmall, what's the point in playing in the grease and oil if you don't have to.
