Just enter your model # as ; 417-8 and go to the page TRANSAXLE or transmission. https://www.psep1.biz/arinet.asp?aribrand=TO#/s/TO/417-8//1/ The seal is part # 6449... about $10 each... Dave I believe the 6449 is for the hydro models. 1-1/8" ID x 1-5/8" OD Go down the list at psep to see the 8-speed models. I see WH part number 100443 which is 1-1/8" ID x 1-3/8" OD for the 417-8. Napa or SKF # 11050. A parts manual shared by more than one tractor model is always a problem unless you have an original copy. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,096 #6 Posted July 26, 2019 Is this what we all are? Quite the read in that patent app! I will from now on, or until I forget, refer to it as a power drive mechanism! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 857 #8 Posted July 26, 2019 Thank you Gary and pfrederi 100443 was the number I was coming up with, just was not sure if that seal was used in hydro or 8 speed or if they were the same. What tractors used the 10 pinion limited slip if any one knows the models? I believe my particular tractor is an 8 pinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 857 #10 Posted July 26, 2019 Yes I new the 10 pinion was earlier than my 417, I thought it may have been used on the D Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered some off of eBay a few months ago that came in a plastic bag with a paper label and no boxes. They are not green painted like a standard SKF seal but they are definitely a metal cased seal and seemed of good quality. I have them in 2 tractors. One is the Cinnamon Horse and that has a few months of run time on it and they seem fine so far but who knows what the entire life span of them will be... Can't remember exactly what I paid. I ordered six at a time. $3 each? $4 each? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
