Thanks, I really would like to see that seal with the spring on each side. I'll get a couple and stash them back.

 

Bump again soft 02. I went to the big city today to get some bearings and seals at Motion Industries. While I was there, I visited with the guys I used to deal with on a daily basis when I was a machine shop/maintenance planner for a rather large paper mill for over 20 years, so they humored me. They looked on their system and never found a seal with a spring on both sides. I still have hope that you can get me that NAPA number though so I can get a couple of them so I won't have to wonder which side goes toward the crank.
Copied and pasted, but Napa wasn't on their list:
Motion Industries, Inc., headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, is the nation's largest distributor of industrial parts. The company was founded in 1972 and has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Genuine Parts since 1976. Motion Industries provides parts for many companies including Black & Decker, Ford, and GM.

Sorry. Been meaning to respond. I was hoping I had my old seal to spec out a new one. What I did was to go in the back of the seal book and chose the seal type which was a double spring 2 sided seal, then I mic'd the housing and shaft along with sending my old one for comparison. I did this through my bearing supplier. Im not very good at keeping receipts. All I need to do is that process all over again. If you look in the back of a seal book they will have cross sections of every kind of seal. That becomes the post fix in the seal part #. Everything else is just measurements.

 

Get me the specs and ill find the seal.

 

Here ya go: National# 472164 1 3/4" ID x 2.506" OD X 5/16" wide. Had a new one out in the shop, I like to keep that kinda stuff around. Can't find a double spring in any of my books.

I have my bearing/seal guy sourcing it right now but here are 2 examples of double spring seals. One with a rubber coating on the outside and one thats painted steel.

http://www.sealmech.com/oil_seals.html 1081-DB seal type.

the CR # is a : CR 17353 and the national # is: N 710389. Price is about $21.07.

 

Hey man, thanks for your hard work. The SKF may be too wide, but couldn't find the dimensions for the National. I gotta drop by to pick up some back ordered seals and I'll have them check on the Nationals for me. My catalogs here at home are way outdated.

 

Its almost 1/2 deep. Shouldnt interfeere with anything depth wise.

 

To be honest the OEM seal is probably fine but as a paid mechanic I like overkill.
