    OK, wife is still running with her friend. I’ll run on out there and take a few more photos for the curious minds.
  2. mowerman
    No, it doesn’t have caps. I’ll go out there and take some more pictures of the morning. Or tomorrow’s sometime I’m exhausted at least I’m glad we’re getting somewhere here instead of hearing NA ha ha that’s like a four letter word

    This thing that’s in there looks like a regular car axle seal it’s got a lip around the edges so you don’t push it too far as I mentioned. It looks too new to be original.

    I think this wedding rang thingy is probably the biggest issue as you all can see. It’s pretty grooved. I’m surprised it didn’t leak earlier than it did.

    Well, I just got back. Thanks for all your input fellas I was having nightmares first glance of anfirst glance of a portable machine axle repair and yes, that makes sense outside bearing grease. I think we heard that from High crop on his B 81 there is definitely no grease in this outer bearing. It’s just rearend oil and the outside seal seems to be in really good shape

    OK, I just went out and took a peek. It definitely looks like it has a ring around the housing which was a pretty clever idea on somebody’s part. Looks like about a 16th of an inch thick.

    Only takes like 20 minutes to get down there. I’ve already been waiting an hour.

    Still waiting on the shuttle I should’ve just took the bus. The bus stop is like one block from here and it’s just a fluke the city bus stops right in front of the repair shop.

    OK, that’s just hilarious. I was actually thinking of mixing up a bunch of dawn with a big scrub brush annd an bucket and just have it roll it over towards the door where I could keep hosing it off.

    I drove this thing home and I bought it. It was not leaking originally.
  11. mowerman
    The seal definitely looks like it was replaced. It doesn’t look old enough to be original.
  12. mowerman
    Excellent yes that is good news. I have a feeling that is a band on there. I’ll tell you one thing the hub and the drum are both a filthy mess.

    Got a few minutes I’m waiting on the shuttle. It also has an outer seal. I’d like to replace them both. I don’t know why there’s an outer seal?
  14. mowerman
    Inside of the seal looks like it’s leather
