[quote="JRSutton"](quoted from post at 04:15:40 04/04/12) Just look at any oil seal on the tractor and you can see that it's only really designed to keep MOST of the oil in. In fact, the seal itself needs a little oil seapage to keep from burning out from friction.
If stopping all leaks completely was the ideal, they'd at least be double lipped seals, or use some kind of packing...quote]
Yes, that may be true of the seals of 1950 but not today. When I buy a replacement I don't put a double leather seal in. I buy a new style rubber lip seal and generally install two.
On the side, put grease inside the second seal or it will run dry and ruin itself and the shaft.
