You should be able to purchase seal sleeves to go over the spot on the shaft check ,chicago rawhide

The others who have responded have good points to consider. The shaft must be clean, use fine emery cloth and wipe clean, a little grease will help slide the seal into its proper place. If the old seal wore the shaft it is not neccisarily obvious to the human eye and that could be the problem. An I-H dealer who has been in the business over 50 years told me to place the seal even with the tractor housing so that would put the seal out slightly from the original seal and on a new position on the shaft so that any wear won't affect the performance of the seal. One suggestion is vital and that is if the shaft has too much play in it no seal will do the job. You will need to get inside the housing from the top and remove the shafts and replace the bearings. Good luck and I hope its just repositioning the seal that you need...Mike in Exeter Ontario

One other thing: The shaft should have no side play. If you've got much wear in the bearings at all, the seal won't hold.

Start by taking it apart and inspecting the seal. Look for any tears, imperfections, etc. Make sure it is the correct seal for that application. What did you use to press the seal into the housing? Try pushing the seal farther into the housing so it seats on a different part of the brake drum shaft.

Also make sure that the seals are installed the correct direction. Usually the seal goes in so that the face of the seal is facing away from the direction of the oil source. This means that the side of the seal with the spring is on the same side as the oil source.

Also make sure the shaft is very clean and not rough.
