It was weeping last year but I put the tractor together anyway to see how everything else would run.
Took it back apart yesterday to fix that seal.
Looks like the upper seal and dust seal are maybe? still available from CNH but WOW! $25 for the dust seal and $151 for the pressure seal.
Went to my go-to hydraulic house and they can't match them. Gonna check another place today.
Does anyone have another source for these?

PS,
I know you guys with 1965 and newer Fords love your battery trays for tools and small parts while working on your tractor.
But if you want the Ultimate, get a platform tractor.
They're the Best!

Wow is right. Could probably swallow the price for the dust seal, but the oil seal - Ouch!

What is the CNH part#?

You're going to have to identify the manufacturer of that steering motor first. Ford used Ross (now owned by Parker) in later models. Perhaps Ross made your motor also. You might try contacting someone like Midwest Steering to see if they can help ID your motor and related parts. https://www.midweststeering.com/parts-diagrams/
 

I'm thinking the steering motor as made by Ross
They were used on early 5200, 7200, 8000, and 9000
Lots of write ups about no parts for those units
 
I called my local dealer today.
Both parts are NLA.
He did a nationwide dealer search and found two dealers that had them. One in WI, the other in NE.
The one in WI sold his a week ago.
You snooze, you lose. I could have done this a month ago... The other guy in NE had an open package. It was the dust seal but mismarked as the main seal. Wanted the full $150 for it. Tried to argue a bit but he was busy and didn't seem interested.
So I got on my favorite search engine - duck duck go - (I fear and loathe google).
Lot of dead ends and advertising. No I dont want to buy kids blow up floaty seals for the swimming pool from Wal Mart.
We don't have a pool.
Made several calls.
I have some parts coming from CA this evening. They'll be here in a few days. They were cheap enough that I could afford to gamble on them.
I will start a new thread and give you guys the latest then.
