Leaking axle seal and brake rebuild on a Ford 8N Tractor

In July while visiting Elizabeth's parents in Pennsylvania ,Beth's dad asked us to fix the brakes on his old Ford 8N tractor. The left one no longer worked well, resulting in some difficulty maneuvering around his hilly farm. We suspected a leaking seal as the culprit. Parts were ordered from Amazon, and shortly after they arrived we did the repair. This video shows our repair. Neither of us had ever changed brakes on a tractor so there was a bit of a learning curve. With some helpful resources we were able to fix it and get the tractor back out into the fields.

This is a link to the videos from Claremont Classic Garage we watched to help us understand the repair:

Parts were ordered from Amazon , part numbers are in the video.
