GM 2-53 blower

[730d se]

I need to have the blower on my 2-53 resealed. Is this something that I can do or do I need to take it to a Detroit Diesel shop? Are there other companies that do this? Are the seal kits still out there and what do they cost?

Search the archives. This question was asked a couple of weeks ago. Do you have a JD 435? I had one and it used this engine.

Done it alot on skidder rebuilds.Pretty straight forward.Check inside housing where rotors turn to see that the housing isnt scored.If it is the bearings are bad.If real bad,replace housing,if not put new bearings and seals in after polishing housing up.I do it with a die grinder and flapper wheel.Itll take you maybe 3 Buds and two hrs on the bench.

Try this address www.dieselpro.com, I have bought parts from them for a 435D, had to machine the ends to take the new seals, working good so far, about a year since rebuild. Good luck.
