Hi There, I searched the discussion forum for prior discussions on Axle seals but did not find one on whether or not you can get Double lipped Axle Seals. The current seals are bad since the spring that goes around the seal lip is broken on both sides. I have had great luck in double lipped seals in the past on other equipment, but thought I would check first if anyone has seen or replaced rear axle seals with double lipped ones and if so what is the make and part number if known, or give me a make of a very good single lip seal. I don't want to do this again for a very long time :)

mainly the reason for leakage is that the inner axle bearing gets look allowing the shaft to wear down the seal...like the other posts, if the axles were keep tight this probably would not happen. Never could understand why JD didn't place the oil seal on the outer bearing and also have a tightening arrangement there.

I just did the seals on a '41 "B" - I checked with a local bearing supplier & all they had with the right specs was a single-lip National. I cross-referenced the Deere numbers & saved $15. With the setup used on these tractors, good axle bearings and proper axle endplay will keep 'em good forever. Friend of mine has a Deere '60' with well over 15,000 hours on it that has never had seals replaced. He removes the rear cover every third year (has since new) to tighten the axle bearings if needed, as they use the tractor on the corn planter & grain drill, where there is quite a bit of stress on the axle. No leaks yet.

When installing the new ones, make certain that you press them in with a makeshift jig, as tapping them in usually distorts the sealing ring enough to cause problems. On occasion, the axle will be grooved from seal wear - in such cases a collar can be used to renew the surface. If the seals have leaked for quite a period of time, you may want to clean out the axle flutes so that old oil doesn't make you think that they're leaking all over again! (Been there, done that) Good Luck

The felt seal is on the end of the axle housing closet to the wheels, the inner Seal is what keeps the gear lube from sloshing down the axle shaft and leaking out, and are located right behind the Bull Gears. The outside felt is just to keep dirt and dust out. I may have to just take the old seal and find a company who makes seals and let them do some cross referencing to find me a couple double lip seals. I just thought I would check here first for prior experience...

Haven't done one, but isn't it just a felt seal.
