Re: Transmission losing oil at the brakes.
Check your trans oil color. Quite often when water enters the trans it causes it to overflow over the rear finals. If that’s the case you’ll see contaminated oil looking like a milkshake. Drain and refill. Back in business.

Re: Transmission losing oil at the brakes.
The seals are not made to keep oil in, they are there to keep dirt out. Do as Mike suggests and your problem should be solved.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Transmission losing oil at the brakes.
To answer the question the OP asked...
It is not hard to change the seals but time consuming. However, the phrase "how hard is it to do X" is subjective depending on you wrenching skill and willingness to dive into a project.
You will have to jack up/block up the tractor rear end, drain the trans oil, remove the rear wheels, axle housing tube from the transmission case, final drive and axle. I recall it's a bit easier to get to all this if you remove the seat and seat mounts. It's a good time to check the brake bands while you are there.
Check here for the parts diagram. Part 2, scroll about 2/3 way down to get to the rear end section. You should be able to tell what needs to come apart.

Re: Transmission losing oil at the brakes.
This HOW TO is for the left side...the right side is similar, but as mentioned above, a bit more involved since it requires the removal of the seat and detaching the platform.
One seal that should also be replaced is the Differential Shaft Pinion Oil Seal:

I would still drain and refill first to make sure an over full trans isn't the problem. Most of the time the seal is not the problem. Do the easy stuff before you dive into something you may not need.

Re: Transmission losing oil at the brakes.
Hi,
Dale, the link for the seal you posted above is for a Cub, he didn't say what model of tractor he has, but this is the A, Super A, 130 section.
I don't know if a seal for the Cub fits an A, Super A, I would think it is different.

Didn't even notice! DUH! The procedure would be similar, but no, the seals would be different. Sorry 'bout that!
