Mo wasn't fussy where things came from - if it was the right size and strong enough - and at the right price, he'd use it.
I'd think he saw the PTO assembly maybe at Taggarts place.

Just be thankful the boys didn't give him a Skyhawk stub axle to use.....

haha, we'll see.

The seals that are on it now are from a Ford Zodiac (they have ford on em and the various bearing places all said same thing, around '68 ford..) but thats not to say a New Holland or Massey Ferg seal won't be the same and also work! I'm hoping they do because I can't get original ford seals here in the south island nor from a couple Auckland places I tried.

Whats the problem with the availability of size of the seals...ID or OD? If you can get the ID in the next size seal you may be able to bore the OD out in the hub outboard of where the bearings fit. That way they'll be more likely to be available next time you need them. There's always more than one way of killing a cat....trust me I'm a convicted cat killer

There is a lot of truth in that post.

Yep....it phuckt me off at the time

Kai... I just rang my bearing supplier here in Hamilton (Farrels) and the PR number cross references to 1.875" x 2.625" which they have on the shelf. Those sizes calculate out at 47.63mm x 66.68mm. You could get away with a 48 x 67 (by carefully linishing the OD down to fit in the hub or turning a bit out of it), they have those on the shelf as well. Like I said ....cats

Seal Shaft Size (in): 1.875 or 49mm
Seal Width (in): 0.313 or 8mm
Used on Tremec T5 transmissions (23 spline output) 85-88
Could try 17472X part number for a Massey Fergusson tractor as I believe this is the same or New Holland 29142

Aaaaah, an old fashioned parts guy with an ISI book perchance ?

Nah man, that was mechanical.
You could tell by looking at the amount of handlebar input she was carrying, how much depression she had on the foot pedal, where her helmet was pointing and the gyroscopic momentum of the passenger. All forces point towards severe retardation............ er... on one side.....
