Rearend of H

This tractor I just purchased as a noise in the rearend and I was widening the wheels out today I noticed the noise was coming from the left axle. What would that mostly like be? And how would I go about fixing it? I have an I&T Manual. I changed the rearend oil yesterday as hopes it would clear up some.

Likely the inner axle bearing is the problem. Best do some careful checking so one ball doesn't come out of the bearing & punch a hole in the bottom of the rear end casting.

Wayne may be right, but I hope he is not.
- When you drained the oil did you notice anything crazy come out? ie balls, bearing cages, etc
- It is REALLY easy to check to see if it is the outer, but TERRIBLE to check the inner. In my experience the outer is generally the problem. This is bc it must be greased and the inner runs in oil.
- To check the outer just pull the wheel/hub. Take out the four bolts and pop off the cap. Don't forget to order the seal before you do this.
- To check the inner just pull off the rear lid. Oh yeah, to do this your have to remove the belt pulley, steering wheel, throttle linkage, gas tank, fuel lines, most to all electrical connections, and order a $30 gasket.
