M29 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I am wondering if anyone knows where I can locate the tapered seals that go around the steering band shafts 900677 on the weasel differential also the tapered seals that go around the 4 steering band bolts that are located on the differential housing. Mine just fell apart. I was thinking maybe a rubber o ring would suffice. Any thoughts?? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 @M29 Dan, Gary Scechy's excellent article on the final drive makes mention on his solution to your problem. In my case I machined out of Nylon stock a very close fitting tapered collar/seal that pushed onto the shaft. Same deal for the brake band shafts. Time will tell if these work. On the other bolts etc, I too used O rings.

Sir Plus Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hi Dan, did you wind up using the O rings in place of the tapered seals? Im in the same predicament now. I just had the steering bands relined and am putting the rear end back together. But as your tapered seals disintegrated, so did mine. How did you make out?

Jesse Browning Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Wrap them with enough Teflon tape or rope to fill the void and compress tightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M29 Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 I have been awaiting a solution was going to use an O ring but may try the way Jesse recommends Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
