Cub rear main seal

Posted by Bob Melusky on September 06, 2004 at 10:03:19 from (68.9.30.231):

When I rebuilt my tractor engine, I bought a gasket kit that included the rear main seal. When I assembled the engine, the seal was a loose fit around the crank. I tried to find a seal listing at the time, but had to buy another complete set with no assurances that the seal would fit any better.

When I ran the engine, I found the tractor would leak at idle, but with higher RPMs the oil would stop leaking. Since I use it with a Danco/IH 60" belly mower, I use everything the it has and do not spend any time at idle except to shut it down.

Now I see from TM tractor parts there is a R1 and an R2 seal. Could this be the problem? That I was supplied the seal for the housing/crank that I DON'T have?

Thanks in advance.
Bob
