John Bizal sells what is reputed to be the Best brand rear seal. The old part number for the military is reported as National 5585, but no longer made. The civilian seals that were a problem are reported as part number 800093.
OK sounds good, I guess time will tell what happens with this one. I'll definitely refrain from putting the tub on until I see what happens in case I need to pluck the motor out again.
