| Hey, would anyone know a source for felt seal. Front bearings on the DD grader or ok, but the seals or questionable. If I had raw material I would make them. |

I replaced the felt seals with lip seals - old felt things were fine when axle grease was the black stringy junk you had to shovel out of can and pound into bearings - Just measured up seals and did a match with twin lip seals ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.
