Rear axle seals

[sixone50]

Can anyone tell me which seals I will need when I rework the brakes and seals. This is on a 1948 8n. I have looked online for a parts diagram with part numbers but have not been able to find one. If anyone knows where I can find on it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If you own a nearly 70 year old tractor, you really need a set of manuals. Even a toaster comes with a manual.

See tip # 39.

Check "stienertractor.com" I get nearly all my parts from them. Just rebuilt my 48' 8n seals a few months ago. If I remember correctly there's an early 48' and a late model 48' early is what mine is and it's just 1 set of seals. Later model thru 52' has inner and outer seals. You'll need to know that. Either by serial number or there are other ways. Easiest is to disassemble brake/seals/shoes/etc. then just order what you need to replace. Not a bad time to check the wear on the shoes as well. I came across a nice diagram awhile back and I'll see if I can locate it again, will post if I find it.

Thanks for the help. I did order the manuals for the tractor this morning.
