Rear end stuff:
I picked up an o-ring from Pep Boys that matches the dimensions specified in the partfinder (2-3/8 X 2-1/2 X 1/16) but I do not know if it is a "Class 5" or not. I did some reading and apparently the class has to do with size tolerances due to shrinkage after molding. Now I'm thinking I'd better get an IH specified ring. I got the one I have for a good price - free... but I don't want to get hosed by going cheap here.
I'm picking up the CR 6204 seal from Napa today, about $6.
I'm thinking I may want to go ahead and pull the axles, replacing the seals, checking the needle bearings, and replacing the gaskets there. Seems like these would be obvious leakers after all these years, no?
