It probably has lots of water in the rear end and floated the oil level so it is above the axel seals. C's, H's & M's will get water from leaking or condensation in the rear ends if not used enough to keep the water "boiled" out. To remove the water, leave it set for a day or two so the water settles to the bottom of the housing. Then loosen the big plug at the rear bottom of the housing. After you can turn it with your fingers, take it all the way out of the threads, but keep the plug against the hole, lift the bottom of the plug slightly and let the water drain until the rear end oil starts to flow. If you have never drained it, you will be amazed at the amount of water that will come out. Have at least a 2 to 2 1/2 gallon bucket under the plug to catch your drainings. (Oil will float to the top and can be skimmed off like cream, if you think you want to re-use it.) Also, if it has sat out in the rain, water WILL leak past the indented bolt heads in the platform. I drain my H, which is parked outside, every fall and get a quart or more of water each time. We had an M that we forgot to drain last year. After freeze-up we went to use it, but it wouldn't move. The water froze solid enough that the bull gears wouldn't turn. It took a couple of hours with a Knipco pointed at the underside of the tractor to thaw it. We got more than a gallon of water out of it after it thawed. (My $0.02 woirth. jal-SD)

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
