Farmall C problem

[Anonymous-0]

I had a leak coming out of the break cover so I tracked it down to the flanged plate going into the rear housing. Seeing that there is two threaded jack holes in the flange I figured there was a bad shaft seal-wrong! As I tightened the jack bolts I thought the fit was pretty tight but it finally popped loose. What happened is the flanged housing I was cranking on is split for the bull gear to run through and I broke the houing where a pilot bushing seats. Got another bushing on order although I don't feel any slop in the one still there. Am gonna try welding it up. It's a pretty clean break for cast iron. Can I get to the bull gear off by pulling the seat deck plate? Took the bolts out and started lifting but it seems to be not coming apart by the shifter. I can see the shift rods when I lift the cover up. Leak was O-ring on hsg. O.D.

Sorry about the break of the casting, it is quite often done (it seems to be obviously the way to do it, but is not. The top can come off if all the connections are taken apart. Never tensile test the strength of components by leaving them bolted down. Force never ((oh yeah that lesson was already in the bag))). JimN
