Greetings:
My Farmall C operators manual and IT shop manual do not have names or part numbers for what I need help with so please refer to attached photos. Two questions.
The front axle is covered in oil (Photo # 3) that I am guessing leaked from the housing the axle inserts into because the housing is empty of oil (looks like it holds a quart or so of oil). In addition my guess is the seal in the housing that the steering rod connects to (photo # 2) needs to be replaced too since that is empty of oil too.
Question # 1 Does anyone have a name and part number for these two seals so I can shop on line for replacements?
This is what I propose to do and if some one has tackled this before let me know if it is correct.
I will remove the tires and then front axle. Next I plan to remove the entire front bracket (photo # 1) from the engine that the front-axle inserts into. This will allow me to flip it upside down to clean it and make it easier to install new seal. Re-attach front axle, flip it up right and re-install or attach to engine (with someone helping).
[The other reason for removing the front-bracket is to have a clear shot at removing broken crank case pulley with bearing puller and install a new pulley].
Question # 2: look at photo # 2 where the steering rod connects in to the steering mechanism that turns the front axle. There is a cotter pin. If I remove that pin then I should be able to pull the front bracket straight away and off. Correct?
Thanks for any advice. I am a computer guy and my Dad passed away leaving me this tractor (plus two others) and I started a simple rebuild of the head which has now turned into a major over-haul from front-to-back.
