Some years ago when the started making radiators in mexico it became cheaper to buy then repair in many cases.

I had a radiator rod-ed out once only to have the automatic transmission lines inside the radiator rust out and ruin the transmission. I realize an M does not have these lines but I still try to buy new instead of fix when I can.

when it comes to older tractors.. I like to fix when I can. most times the cores are better than the new lighter density ones they try to stick you with.

obviously not all of them can be saved..e tc...

I filled up the rear end up 90 weight oil and it is leakin perfusly out of the pto and the pto bolts im guessing their is seals that are bad does anyone no were I can get the seals? and then their is a big round not really a bolt in the front of the axel just under the clutch that's leaking also. my thinkin is I hopefully can save the seals for a winter project this year. my question is I am not going to be using the pto im not going to be doing any farming with the tractor is going to be a Parade/Show/Antique puller will it really hurt the rear end to just drive the tractor without the adequate amount of fluid in the rear axel?

anyone?

How much lower is your lowest leak below your add oil valve? 1 inch? 6 inches?

Birchhatchery · Apr 27, 2013

the lowest leak is at the pto shaft maybe a inch or 2 higher then the add oil plug

pjbci · Apr 27, 2013

Well then i believe i would save that project till winter since your not going to be pulling it hard. That just me tho.

Birchhatchery · Apr 27, 2013

just a couply parades and couple antique pulls

Birchhatchery · Apr 27, 2013

I was hopeing I could just wait because id like to put a overrunning coupler on the pto also

the people who I bought the m off of said they bailed hay/straw with it you farmall m guys what size bailer should I be looking for. also looking for a mower for it I was thinking a pull behind finins mower as I don't have 3 point or hydraulics do they have those that run on pto that my m could do?

If you have a leak out from around the PTO shaft, and not even running, I'm thinking it's way overfilled. Check plug is on the left side, up ahead of the clutch pedal, and should be just below the level of the PTO shaft. Seals are still available through Case/IH. From past experience, I find it best to use OEM seals. I've mashed several cross over part number seals, and learned my lesson.

I've posted a lube chart for your M, should come in handy.... Click on the image, and it will enlarge. Save the picture to a file, and print it off for quick reference.
