I'm with CaseChev on this one. It's cheaper to install a "black box" Ford reman tranny than it is to rebuild one these days. And the dealer may have been burned before by just replacing the front seal, then when something else went wrong with the tranny, "Well, it was OK before you guys put the seal in it!" By offering the replacement tranny, he's offering you something with a warranty. And since he already has to R & R the transmission, on one with over 100k miles it only makes sense to offer to replace the tranny to give you some peace of mind that a fresh tranny can give.
Oh, he could've offered to R & R the transmission, and heard about how it cost X hundreds of dollars for labor, just to replace a $10 [probably $25 these days] seal. So chances are, either way, there was something to complain about. He's just trying to keep the truck on the road longer, as a reman trans would do vs. just putting a seal in a tranny with over 100k miles.
Wasn't THAT many years ago, you'd have been lucky to have the truck get TO 100k miles, repairs or not.

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