interchangeability of rear axle - Major/Super Major

I recently aquired a Fordson Major which has a leaking rear axle. Appears to be allowing oil out around the axle shaft. Would the rear axle from a Super Major be interchangeable? I have a non-leaking Super Major for parts.
 
Depends on where the leak is from, if it is from the centre section it
will fit but you would have to transfer all the parts from the Major. The
crown wheel and pinion have to match and are not interchangeable. If you
want to put the whole Super back end onto the Major, then you will have to
do a double split and remove the primary gearbox to change the pinion
shaft.

The Super Major has a different dif, different gear ratio on the crown
wheel and pinion, different Bull pinion shafts, different bull gears,
different brakes, different hydraulic pump, different gearing on the pump
drive and a completely different hydraulic system. It is possible to put a
Major hydraulics on a Super Major back end, but you would need a right-
angle adaptor for the Super pump, and they are made of rocking horse
manure.

Perhaps the easiest change would be to put the Major engine onto the Super
gearbox and rear axle.
