They also have something in common with owning a cat: once you have one, others show up that you never saw before... Of course I've never chased away a stray Wheel Horse. That would be cruel and inhumane. Edited February 11 by kpinnc 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well thank you very much! The engine choice is the only wildcard right now. I'm trying to decide if rebuilding a Kohler twin is worth it (to me) or if a repower is the way to go. Just not sure yet... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexR 2,575 #187 Posted February 13 (edited) Got the hubs pulled off today and everything is in great shape keyways axle keys all of it. Not even sure I will want to pull it apart when I get to this tractor as I don't think any of the bearings are bad either axle bearings still feel tight. The only reason for me to pull it apart is replace the limited slip spring and just to see the condition of the gears. But I have a question on seals has anyone had experience using the napa seals on these tractors NOS 11050 napa seal is called a manual steering pitman arm seal. Specs are Inside Diameter 1.125 Outside Diameter 1.379 in Width 0.125 Specs on cr/skf 11050 Shaft diameter 1.125 in Housing bore diameter 1.3752 in Seal width 0.125 in Is that .0038 of a difference in outside diameter enough to not work? NOS 7410 napa seal Inside Diameter 0.75 Outside Diameter 1.004 in Width 0.125 Cr/skf 7410 Shaft diameter 0.75 in Housing bore diameter 0.9988 in Seal width 0.125 in Same thing outer diameter is different Is that because one is actual seal outside diameter and the other is the bore diameter? NOS 6105 napa seal Inside Diameter 0.625 Outside Diameter 0.816 in Width 0.094 Cr/skf 6105 Shaft diameter 0.6252 in Housing bore diameter 0.8118 in Seal width 0.094 Edited February 13 by AlexR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 19,874 #188 Posted February 13 I always use CR seals with with the number you show never a problem. Since the NAPA number is the same as the CR number I assume it is the same seal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexR 2,575 #189 Posted 3 hours ago These are seals I ordered from napa.. it's literally just CR/SKF seals And then I ruined both axle seals on one side. Got them on the axle just fine. I had the keyway taped up as well, but trying to seat it in the axle housing it just wouldn't go in. It's like there should be a chamfer on the housing and there isn't, so the metal edge of the seal catches on the housing and got all bent up. I'm thinking I need to do what I can to clean up the housing edge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waited 2 weeks for the last seals, looks like its gonna be another week to get the new ones. Good thing we don't have any snow right now, as this is the tractor I use for that.

Last time I got them from Napa and they had a issue with shipping or something so it took a extra 5 days to get it, I paid $9 a seal. These last seals I ordered on the jungle site SKF brand seals for $6 each free shipping it will just take about a week to get them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
