Mike, There should be a large metal washer and then a leather washer under the nut on the center of the drum. Once you get those off encourage the drum to come off the splined shaft of the bullpinion. This should allow you enough room to start surgery on the old seals. Most likely you will find the old style double leather/spring seals in there. Others recommend drilling a few holes in the face of the old seals to get a prybar/screwdriver in there to start ripping away the old seal. I have had good luck with a seal puller and using the outer housing as a fulcrum to wrench the old seal out. They can be stubborn so be patient. Be careful using things like chisels and such that are hard as that is a cast housing and you can nick it real easy. Tell mamma you would like lunch in the shop as it may take awhile to accomplish the job.

I recommend installing two new seals on each side as they are about half as thick as the old ones. You can position them so they will rub on different places on the inner drum housing than the original seal rode. This should eliminate the need for speedy sleeves which are quite spendy for that large a diameter/depth. After you get the old seals out check those large bearings behind the seal for slop/wear/missing balls. If you have to replace them they run about $45-50 ea from Case/IH dealer. Bearing supply houses may be cheaper.Good luck.//FB
