421 U 1113: Source for oil seals?
 

Hello all, finally getting around to restoring the deck for my 147. I did search, hopefully I was thorough enough. Does anyone have a source for the oil seals (6 required)? NAPA lists one as industrial non vehicle specific, but maybe someone has found a better option under a different PN that is more easily available over the counter and cheaper?

The PN I am working from is 530484 which doesn't lead to anything on RockAuto.

Thanks.

Edit: Went through the NAPA checkout page and they want me to pop for $20 shipping, so $50 bills for 2 seals........

I ordered the 6 oil seals for my 421u1113 right from a local Cub cadet dealer that was less than a 3 minute drive away. They still sell the seals, part was IH-473428-r92 my local dealer charged me $13.99 each. One thing I’m not 100% on tho is if the 2 possible spindle styles use the same oil seals? Mine have replaceable oil seals and bearings.

Ok, thanks for that info. Luckily on two of the 3 spindles the seals feel like brand new so I'm just rebuilding one. Also glad this deck has the relatively cheap automotive type bearings/races.

My local napa dealer, free shipping !

That is where I get mine also.

your lucky with those, i tried to go to napa to get new seals for my 70's deck and the 3/4 in seals i needed would have to came from 6 different stores and they wanted to charge me $20 shipping for each piece
As an aside do you need new shaft spacers that the seal rides against? I found an ebay seller that has stainless steel ones that I'm replacing the pitted and worn ones with. they even did a custom size for the ones I needed

Thanks for the NAPA info. The main local NAPA distribution hub is not far from me and they don't even list the NOS 530484. I found an industrial supply source online at around $8 each. The order is still pending, we'll see if it actually ships.

I found that some NAPA stores wanna deal with only car stuff no small engine ,or tractor stuff. but other NAPA,s do. Depends i guess who works there.

Oh I totally spaced, the shaft is 3/4 but the spacers bring it up to 1 inch so thats probably the same seal i needed. I had a mix of the original IH marked part numbers and skf seals on the 2 decks
