Just ruined a $20 dollar seal . Hydraulic reservoir on my 424 was leaking around the draft control plunger seal . Ive installed regular oil seals but
this one is very different than an axle or pto seal . It is about 1/2 inch in depth and comprised of rubber seemingly around an inner hidden metal
part . I ordered exact replacement from IH and it looks to be same size and type as the one I removed . I put it in freezer like I always do and lubed
it up good. Tried it with writing side out first and would not go so then tried the opposite direction and again no go. I used the old flat surface to
try to drive it in and again nothing doing. Is there a trick to this. Maybe pack in dry ice ? The part was available so it must be servicable . Any
and all help will be appreciated . Great tractor except for the leaks and fluid has gotten expensive .
