redrooster 83 #26 Posted December 19, 2013 Will the old seal have metal in it? When i was removing the old seal i picked out very little rubber material before running into metal. I assumed this was the bearing. Is it possible that i do not have the old seal fully removed? This is all I could remove if the axle seal. The new seal I got measures 15/8". No way will that go back. I'm guessing I have the wrong seal and maybe not getting all of the old one out????

John Voss 76 #27 Posted December 19, 2013 That is definitely the wrong seal. This is the correct seal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281192492884?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,878 #28 Posted December 19, 2013 redrooster, that new seal that you show in the picture above, looks like the cap seal for the 3 piece RJ/Suburban transmissions. It sets on the outside of the axle housing in that application. Did you get that from TORO??? WH # 1257 renamed 83-2840 cost about $18 apiece?? It is the wrong seal for sure. It should look like the old one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ill be lucky if they are nice and give me an even exchange. Curious to know how/why you got the wrong one. Did you order the 6449 or was it the dealer?

redrooster 83 #34 Posted December 24, 2013 I purchased new axle seals from eBay for my 79 8 speed. Does anybody know where I can get the seals for the drive and break pulley? Merry Christmas! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
