Ok, rookie mistake. During disassembly i half dropped a couple pieces and can't figure out which way they go!
Was replacing the right real wheel seals in the final drive on my 1194, pulled the short shaft with the wheel flange out no problem. On that shaft, behind the seal housing, there's a tapered roller bearing and race. Does that bearing go "cone in" (small end towards the rear end), or cone out (small end towards the wheel)? looking at how the preload is adjusted with shims under the seal housing I figure it has to go "cone in", but at this point I can say Im thinking striaght, I think I sweated all my common sense out about an hour ago...
BTW, I have the IT Shop Manual and it has the same lo-rez picture as the Messick exploded parts drawing, both only show the bearing and race as unit so it's impossible to tell from those.
