Eaton axle oil seals.

[Stigian 1,234]

Morning Guy's, just a quick question for you.

Are the Eaton axle oil seals the same as a 8 speed trans (1 1/8" axles)?

Looking at the seals that are on the Eaton they have a steel outer casing, are these the original seals and any tips on getting them out?

Cheers Guy's.

I would think that for 1 1/8" axles they should be the same seal. Toro seal are now all vinyl and some people have had trouble with them not sealing. I used after market seal on my 8 speed a couple of years ago they had the metal case. You need something with a sharp hook to pull them out. I had to drive the hook through the metal case to pull mine out.

There is a bearing chart with the seals at the top of this page on a sticky. There are some changes down in the tread on some of the bearings.

They are completely different Ian, The outside diameter is larger, and the seal has a metal ring to strengthen it. A regular rubber seal could pop out if the return side of the hydraulics pressurize the sump.

Sorry that I don't have the part number handy for you.
