plow seal

[Richard in MO]

Where would a person find material to make a seal for gear box on a Case trip plow? Case IH dealer is useless.

Your localauto parts store should have gasket material. If you have a cover off the gear box
you should clean it then lay your gasket material over the cover and use a small ball peen hammer and tap along the outer edge of the cover while holding the gasket material from moving. Also do the holes. Most of the material we used was vellemoid. Hal

A cereal box makes good gasket material.

Good ideas but need to fix the seal around the shaft coming out of the box. Looks like it is a rope seal or some kind of felt. The local Case IH is a total waste of time.

Not sure what size of rope seal you need, but flathead Ford"s and into the 50"s used a rope seal for a rear seal,I think that you can buy them seperately, or possibly cotton clothesline rope. but you are going to have to take the shaft out of the housing to put it in, if it is the same style. Maybe you could get some graphite impregnated string like they use in water valves and stuff it around the shaft from the inside of the gearbox. Or you could try some Lucas transmission or engine stop leak. Have fun.

if yours is rope type, some water pumps and irrigation pumps still use them
