Thanks George ...... I do a lot of seal replacement in my job , I mean A LOT. In most all cases I would pull the old seal , however I'm guessing that this engine may be coming out next winter for a rebuild anyway. So i'll stack them up this go round , in lieu of (even with a left hand drill) getting any metal in the crankcase.
I use a good o-ring lube on any seals I install.Where it is specifically designed for use on rubber.
I know the history of this tractor , as far as where its been its whole life but not its maintenance history. I don't think its been religiously maintained. So after I get some run time on it I'll know a bit better as to the engines condition.
Thanks Again , don't stop the good idea ........
