The rear axel seals are leaking on my 48 M. I ordered the seals and finally got the rear wheels off. So I pulled off the first seal cover and the new seals I got are different from the originals. The originals have a rubber seal with a steel back on it. Then there is a felt pad sqeezed between the steel back of the seal and the retainer cover. the new seal is like a normal bearing seal. Even if I had the felt it wouldn't work cause the seal doesn't have the steel back on it to hold the felt. Did I get the wrong seal or is this the new type? Do I still use the felt? Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you ordered IH seals, or your supplier crossed them properly they are correct. Case-IH still has the felt, you need that too. I'm confused about the steel back. Yours has to have it, but it may be on only one, not both sides -- that's ok. Install the seal with the lip facing the oil flow (in towards the tractor). Before you do that install a new felt in the end cap. It will be held by the metal back of the seal.

Thanks for the responce. The seals that were on there looked like the lip was out? If I put the lip in toward the oil the the steel face of the seal would be up against the felt. I guess that would be ok. I didn't know i needed the felt, I guess I should order that also. What is the felt for, to keep dirt out of the seal? The other thing I was wondering is why is there a grease fitting on the housing? The axel bearing is oiled by the transmission oil.

It's a dust seal. I imagine the grease zerk is there to grease the seal and keep it from drying out? Some of the later models with the same arrangement don't have a grease fitting. The lip of the seal goes toward the tractor, the flat surface goes against the felt. OR--With the cap laying on it's back (the side that goes toward the wheel), put in the felt then drive in the seal with the lip facing up.
