Hey Folks,
What are the rear main seals made of in your old tractors and what are the replacements made of? My rear main is leaking a little again (just replaced a few days ago), tolerable at the moment, but still leaking.
The only thing available is a graphite ring which looks like a piece of rope impregnated with grease and graphite. After reading on several forums, it seems common for them to leak when replaced. Some say that they replace several then just get lucky. I don't have the time or patience and can't do without the tractor to keep having them replaced and can't ask the kid to keep doing it for me.
Any of you had a problem like that and came up with a fix that didn't involve a crap shoot? I haven't put anything in the motor other than oil, but is there some kind miracle snake oil that would swell/seal that type of seal?
