I have an 8-N ford. The right rear axle seal was leaking. The old axle seal was of a felt type material. The new replacement seal was of a different style than the old origanal one. There is no way to install the new seal in the housing without damaging it. Has anyone else had this problem. Is there any place a person can get the old felt seal or do you have to use the new rubber seal in the tin housing. Any information would be aprecated.

Thanks
Gene

The 48 and 49 8Ns did not come equiped with an inner seal that installs into the axle housing.

There is an after market seal that is called a sure seal that is a poor excuse for the later model tractors inner seal. If installed right and with a little good luck they will help stop the leaking.

I have stoped those older 8Ns from leaking when everything else failed by pulling the axle out about a foot,wrapping the axle with teflon tape for about 6" and then filling the axle housing around the axle with a caulking gun full of silicone glue after moving the axle hub close to the axle housing and let it cure 24 hours befor using. Haven't had one leak yet.
