Shovelhead trans seal
83 FX 4 speed small mains shaft transmission seal see pix below.
Oil is leaking past this seal. Looks like getting the seal out it's self out is going to be a pain. It has been suggested that instead of trying to get the old seal out we just put a new one on top. It appears there is enough room and certainly enough leakage to keep the new one lubed.
Anyone ever try this? Suggestions, comments?

Reason for that?
The MDG babbited bushing, has lost its fitment to the OD of the mainshaft.
Very common issue in those gearboxes.
Send us the mainshaft and MDG and we will install and size a new bushing, and you'll be rolling again, leak free.

I've been pall bearer, to several folks laid to rest there.
We still hunt deer here.
Shot a 130 class, 9 pt. last year, during the regular gun season, and my son killed a nice 8 pt. with his bow, and another 8 pt. with his Marlin.
We hunt up over the hill, on Thurston's.
Coyotes were on the hit list this year, and killed 2 of those buggers as well.
Holler, if we can be of service to you.
