Phil I ran over the road for a lot of years and local Detroit to Chicago daily for several before that and found the only seals that lasted over time on my trailers were the Stemcos with the wear rings. I have tried all of the C/R,national ,barrier,mechanix,and any of the others I left out. 3 years was the max on them. The Stemco's will go 10 years with good results.

When we changed hubs last year it had those seals with the rubber on the spindle side of the seal that turn inside of themselves. Maybe I will have to go to those. Don't know.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
