For a TO20, part #195 761 M1. The parts book gives dimensions of 1 5/16" x 1 7/8" x 7/16". These are the seals that the steering arms go through into the steering box. Neither Yesterday's Tractor or Sparex carry this seal. Thanks for any help.

If your talking about the output shaft seal you can remove old seal and see if there is a number on it. Or if no number you can measure shaft and outer measurement of housing and go to a bearing shop and they can match it. We have Purvis Bearing and I use them a lot. Take old seal it may help.
 
Try looking at an SKF 13027 or a National 473423.

I took an old leather seal to a bearing and seal shop and they had new seals to suit:



Grind off the centering casting and the seals will go on without disassembling the steering box.
 
Take your steering box apart and take the housing and shaft to a
seal and bearing specialist and ask for the slimmest modern seal
available. Then cut the metal rim off the old seal leaving a slight bit
of the insert. Place the new seal in the housing and then glue and
tap the old metal face back on so it looks original. Fill the box with
grease and drill and tap a hole somewhere not too obvious like
under the battery and insert a grease zerk. Now grease until you
see some grease come out the top of the steering shaft. That top
bearing never gets lubed. You should never have to look at it again!

The steering box (along with most of the rest of the tractor) has been taken apart.


Samn40, I buggered up the seals trying to remove them, so I won't be able to reuse any part of it. I'm not going for a full-blown exact restoration, one of my plans is to polish the aluminum bits and clear coat them to add a little bling to the ol' heap.


But, I did find an interchange for the 50521-S seal. NAPA carries it as a NOS 13027 so I'll have them order a couple of them for me. Thanks for all the help!

Nice bit of polishing!! :lol:

But if you really want to add Bling, get the transmission shifter and throttle chromed:



Kids tell me a chrome shifter adds 20 MPH to the top speed!!!

:lol:
