Cub rear main seal.

KENIND · May 24, 2017

Hello, while I am replacing the clutch in my 1972 Cub. I will need to replace the rear main seal. Leaks when the engine is at running temp. How much of a pain in the neck is this? and can you perchase it with out buying a bunch of other gaskets that I don't need? I am looking at the reman kits from Stieners......Thanks Kenny.

you will need a gasket between the retainer and the block. You can make it or I suppose even use RTV. The oil pan is bolted into the bottom of the retainer, so you will need an oil pan gasket, too. I
suppose Steiner has the updated retainer, but check to make sure. No commonly available seal correctly fits the old style retainer. There are a couple guys around the country that machine old retainers for
new seals. They hang out on farmallcub dot com.

Sure, you can buy it at your local CaseIH dealer.

You can get just the gaskets, I think I got mine from TM. The current seal will not fit right, as mention by hoof, but I just epoxied mine in and its been fine.

There is a guy that machines the seal retainer and installs a new seal, its much better than the original.
