during my rebuild, I must have overlooked the front crankshaft seal surface is deeply grooved. I am looking for a speedi sleeve for it, still need to measure it to be sure, but thought I would post here if anyone knows a part number off hand. I believe the front seal is a rope type, like the 2 piece rear main, but havent confirmed what is in my Reliance gasket kit, maybe its a rubber seal, regardless the seal surface will not seal given the deep groove in it. thanks everyone! ------------- 35 and 41 WM crawlers, 49 WD, 53 WD45 wide front, 49 JD A, 52 JD B |

| Don't remember the part no. but the speedy sleeve is a good idea. Just a regular oil seal in the timing cover. |

| I think OEM was lip seal with a felt ring out front |

correct, the front seal is a lip seal with a felt ring further forward so it extends quite a bit from the cover. I found SKF 99150 but its install depth is not deep enough with the provided install sleeve(only up to about an inch, based on measuring I need to move it about 2.75" onto the shaft), but I think I could move it further down the shaft to get it into position. ------------- 35 and 41 WM crawlers, 49 WD, 53 WD45 wide front, 49 JD A, 52 JD B |

| You can use a piece of exhaust tubing or pipe to install a Speedi-sleeve deeper on a shaft, just takes a bit of searching at times to find something with the right ID to use in place of the supplied driver. |
