Krey, be carefull removing the old seals, you could easily damage the bearing cage behind them. I did two H's in the last year. You need to pick away with picking chisels. Some folk drill a hole in the old seals and insert a metal screw to get something to pull on. I have had the best luck by picking some of the seal out and then collapsing the seal with a punch and yanking it out with a vise grip. Don't get in a hurry, I probably spent the better part of an hour on each seal. I also belong to the school of one seal. The new seals are about half the width of the old ones. The new seal should be flush to the tractor and that is most likely on a different place on the shaft than the original so you get away from the wear marks on the shaft. Some folk like to use two new seals, it can't hurt but it doubles your repair bill. The material in the new seals will out last the old style seal by years and years . You may as well get new brass bushings for the brake shafts as well and then everything will work like new. I had a brake frozen into the tractor, it took three of us about four hours to get it out,soaked it heated it , pried on it, pounded on it , finally a large crow bar against the lip of the brake shaft and a sledge hammer...cleaned the hole up with a dremmel tool ,inserted a new brass bushing and was back in business...be patient removing those seals, the new ones will tap in easily...good luck from Mike in Exeter Ontario
