A.-- Does anyone know the generic seal number for front wheel grease seals for a 2 wheel drive Ford 1510 tractor built in 1985? B.-- Where is the best place to get such seals at a good price? C.-- Did the Japanese build in any surprises I should know about, (My manual shows a snap ring and spacer outside the grease seal in the hub assembly)? Background: I put 4 new new tire$$ on the tractor. From the condition and codes on the tire dealer said the old tires were probably the original tires (30 yrs old).
In the process of removing the wheels for transport to the tire dealer, I noticed that the front wheels turned smoothly but stiffly, and probably have never had the bearings repacked. Also when I got the tractor there was mono-filament fishing line wound on the front spindles some of which may have gotten into the seals, so replacing the seals seems mandatory to me.
I fully expect that buying the seals from Ford will be pricey and there is no Ford/New Holland dealer within 50 miles or more, and if I have the generic seal number I can save money, time, and hassle or at least get a better chance of the right seal the first time.
It is my custom to write such filter, seal, lubricant, etc. specifications in my shop manual or the vehicle maintenance record and maybe someone else has done that and can answer question "A". Unless someone else lives around Lebanon or nearby in S.W. Missouri then any good internet sources of tractor parts would be useful to answer question "B".
I did notice that according to the manual I have (I&T Shop Service Manual), that for some reason the Japanese manufacturer (Shubaru) used a snap ring (#34 as a seal retaining device in the hub, Apparently they did not trust a press fit. -OR- The other possibility is that the So called "Spacer" (# 8) is actually a removable/replaceable surface for the seal to run on. However if that is the case I can probably make a replacement in my machine shop easier than buy one, if, in the midst of the bearing job, I find it to be badly scored. Hopefully someone has been into such a hub before and can clue me in. I hate surprises in the middle of a maintenance job that leaves the machine torn down or disabled for a couple of weeks while i try to scrounge up replacement parts that the manual forgot to tell me about! I have tried to upload the photo from the I&T manual for this tractor but the "post preview" fails to show it. so I do not know if you will see it. Some of you may have this manual which covers the 1100,1110,1200,1210,1300,1310,1500,1510,1700,1710,1900,1910,2110

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
