Gagetmag 0 #1 Posted 21 hours ago I recently bought a 1973 c-160 automatic and the axle seal was bad so I found one online and ordered and when I went to put it in it didn’t fit almost like OD was just to big it was a #6449 but I was reading and I also found a #5958 so my question here is which one do I need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,475 #2 Posted 19 hours ago Do you have a 1973 16hp Automatic or a 1974 or later C-160 Automatic? Required to look up the correct parts. Have the long model number and serial number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 59,957 #3 Posted 11 hours ago 6449 is a good number on hydrostatic transaxle oil seals. I have gotten them on and been very pleased with the fit and performance. https://www.ebay.com/itm/142042768245 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if @Gagetmag got defective seals or if he damaged them when installing. I use the axle hub as a slide hammer to press them in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
