Modern differential seal?

[darth_kitten]

Hi All,

Wondering if there is a modern part number for the differential input shaft seal? Or is NOS still available?

Thanks!

Also looking for the snap ring that is almost impossible to remove.

G179-5308173   A308173 Ring, snap, S,1 3/8 ID, 1 11/16 OD, 0.093 thk (low range gear sleeve)

 

H013-0500286   500286 A307440 Seal, Oil, type ML 1 3/16 x 2.004 x 7/16 (front bearing)

FYI, neither of these parts are available from Dave Y. I think I can source the snap ring from my spare diff. Hopefully I can source a seal even though the thickness won't be the same.

Mark....both of the seals in my machines were still decent so I left them in.  The oil is not super high in the final drive so these don't appear too prone to leak.  Keep us posted.

FYI on original oil seals.....if they are the original rawhide ones you MUST soak them in oil (30 wt is good) for at least 24 hours. If not they will burn/glaze on the sealing surface and will leak. In the old days shops had a coffee can with oil in it and seals soaking in it.

Managed to pirate the snap ring from my spare differential, and inspected my old input shaft seal. I looks reusable, so that is the path I shall take.
