Description

When you start seeing gear oil spots under your tractor or notice the rear axle getting low on fluid, it’s usually the half shaft seal calling for attention. This seal sits at the outer end of your rear axle assembly, keeping the gear oil where it belongs while keeping dirt and moisture out. A leaking seal doesn’t just make a mess—it can lead to expensive axle damage if you let it go too long.

What You’re Getting

Precision-molded seal with exact 98.43 x 79.38 x 12.7mm dimensions for a perfect fit
High-quality rubber compound that handles the heat and chemical exposure of gear oil
Reinforced metal case that won’t deform during installation or operation
Double-lip design that creates a positive seal against the rotating half shaft

Built for Real Farm Work

This seal fits a solid lineup of Ford utility tractors that have been workhorses on farms for decades. The 2000 and 3000 series from the 1000 lineup, along with the 600 series models, are known for their reliability in everything from loader work to hay operations. These tractors might not be the biggest on the farm, but they’re often the most dependable for daily chores.

Made to Last

The outer half shaft seal takes a beating from constant rotation, temperature changes, and contamination from field work. This seal’s built with materials that resist breakdown from gear oil exposure and temperature cycling. The metal case ensures it stays properly seated in the axle housing even when things get rough.

Installation Notes

You’ll need to pull the rear wheel and remove the outer half shaft to replace this seal. Clean the seal bore thoroughly and check the shaft for any grooves or rough spots that might damage the new seal. A seal driver or large socket helps get it seated evenly without cocking it sideways.
