Front main seal checking fit
I am working on my 47' cub and will soon be putting on a new front main seal. I have purchased my seal from steiner. I am wondering if there are measurements or another way to make sure that the seal fits tightly and will not leak oil? I have calipers. I have heard that cubs are known to leak from the front seal. I also have the old seal and to my knowledge it was not leaking before from the front seal. Thank-you

Re: Front main seal checking fit
You should probably have a speedy sleeve on hand.
The original seal could have worn a groove in the pulley that will not allow the new seal to work properly.
TM Tractor has the seal and sleeve as a kit;

Re: Front main seal checking fit
I did one for a forum member a number of years ago, at Cubfest Northeast. I suggested he get the seal and sleeve kit from TM. There was a groove worn in the seal surv=face, that looked like it should have an "O" ring, in it. Without the speedy sleeve, we wouldn't have been able to complete it .

Re: Front main seal checking fit
Okay I need a sleeve and a matching front main seal. I tried to purchase one from tm tractor but it is currently unavailable. Does anyone know anywhere else that would have the same sleeve and seal? Thank-you

call TM. The website is not always correct about parts availability

Re: Front main seal checking fit
If you've got the front pulley off, inspect the surface that the seal lip rides on for wear. If a groove is not worn into the sealing surface, you don't need a Speedy Sleeve. Also, if I remember correctly, the new seal has a thinner cross section than the original seal. If I'm correct about that, the seal may be able to be set to a depth so the new lip seal doesn't ride in the groove created by the old seal.
