When I bought my Ford 641 the guy I bought it from said 'Had the tractor for a lot of years. The differential housing is defective and it leaks bad. Runs good, just keep oil in it and it will do fine'.

I looked under the differential and there was about 2" of grease/dirt/crud there so I believed him. 80W-90 is cheap, only $47.00 for 5 gallons. LOL. Because of all this I got the tractor cheap.

Yesterday I decided I had to know where that leak was. Scraped and Gunked it good. Noticed the nut holding the exhaust pipe to the differential was finger loose. Being a curious kind of guy, I checked the rest of the nuts holding the left axle housing to the differential. All but three were just finger tight.

Torqued those suckers down and no more leak.

Ya gotta wonder, how does that all happen.

Its called years of bounceing around in the fields and a farmer that didn't check thing out, or both. I've seen whole tractors fall apart just because of loose bolts some place

One H I bought had a habit of just up and quitting on me. Would always start right up again. Got to investigating one day and found just about all of the wiring connections were just finger tight. Tightened evrything up like it should be and no more problems.
