Re: Front end oil leak

The body and emblems are consistent with a Super Major, however, upon purchase it was portrayed as a 1953 model. The engine serial number is 1597749. Can you shed any light on what this tractor really is? We are in Montana, and it is possible the motor was replaced.

Front end oil leak

I have a 53 Super Major that appears to be leaking oil where the crank pulley meets the timing housing. Is this indicative of a front main bearing leaking or is there a bushing of some sort behind the pulley that is leaking?
