Hi, everyone! I am working on solving a bad oil leak on my gas IH 674. Engine oil is dripping from the bell housing. I will go through between one and two quarts of oil per day.
I have the tractor split, thinking that the problem would be the rear main seal. However, this tractor does not have a rear main seal that is held within a retainer like the diesel models.
How am I supposed to remove the rear main seal? My shop manual goes through a long explanation of how to split the tractor and then simply says that the rear oil seal can be removed after collapsing same. What does that mean?
Also, is there anything else that I should be looking at that could be causing this leak? Could it be a leak between the oil pan and the engine block or rear main bearing caps? How would I go about fixing that, if so?
I am going to try to post a picture of the rear main seal in my tractor and a picture of what my shop manual says.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
