The axle seals are inside the axle housing next to the differential. Due to wear on the drive ring and yoke bushings. The axles can move up and down making it hard to keep the seals from leaking.
It will help if you keep the oil level about 1 1/2 below the fill plug. Still have plenty of oil to lube everything.

Interesting I was always told the only thing that held oil was the differential and the outer part was dry. I have seen them with and without a pipe thread fitting like the one in your picture. The parts book shows that nothing would hold the oil in if you put it in the hub cap plug. I am soon rebuilding mine so I will take any free advice.
 
i would say 3:00 or 9;00 ,as that is plenty of oil for the brg's. sure dont want it any higher. just like in the truck and trailer axles... just so u can see it in the sight glass in centre .

A Coleman is different than a JD fwa. It has no way to keep oil in the hub assemblies from what I can tell.
 
The service manual makes no reference to putting oil in the hub caps and the parts manual shows no plugs in the hub caps. All of the ones I have seen look welded in after the fact.
 
common sense, is the oil from the diff would travel down the tube to the wheel brgs. same as any differential.

The oil seal on the driveshaft on each side of the diff would would hold it back.
 

It is a dry set up like a wheel bearing a a 4wd pickup. A rubber boot on the inside keeps the crap out of the bearings in the hub.
 

The plug you are looking at on the outer cover does nothing. Remove the cover and grease the drive ring and yoke bushings. The outer cover is a dry housing until the axle seals in the differential leak.
The oil level I was referring to is in the differential housing. Also grease the pivot bearings. The grease zerks are behind the the dust boot.

Plowhand. For more info move this to the MM forum or IH. They used the same axle under the 1206 etc.
