No4, BB-1175-C is the inner hub seal for the Ford 3 ton axle. This seal fits the various carriers (bren and universal etc) and probably most of the trucks of that era. Tony Smith will give you a more accurate application list.

Thanks Lynn. I should have listed known applications.

So BB-1175-C fits the F15A, Universal Carriers as you say, and indeed most other CMP trucks.
It cross references to Chevrolet Part No. GM-1798517.

Dirk Leegwater has them posted on his site, which is where I bought them from:

Yep, this is the one you need to replace when you see grease and oil coming out of the brake drums. Amazingly they seem to last about 60 years.

Not sure if you're quoting the right number?
SKF 49998 has sizes Shaft 5" and Bore 6.25": http://www.skfextranet.com/catalogs/...il.asp?s=49998

Great,
A part number....

In Australia this isn't enough to identify a seal correctly.

Cheers,

I have only just come across this thread. At present rebuilding an axle for a Carrier, after researching a replacement seal for the hubs, I found that by searching with the Ford part number, BB1175C, I came up with one manufactured by Chicago Rawhide, now marketed under SKF name. It is a modern type of hub seal that turns within itself and thus doing away with the old type lip to seal path idea. Found a SKF data sheet for said seal, and it listed all the Ford and other makers part numbers that the SKF seal no. 31307 covered, inc. BB1175C. I knew the shaft size was correct, having measured the axle, 3.125", but having seen the Ford part number as well, neglected to check the OD assuming it would be OK. On receiving these seals from a dealer in the US, I now realise the OD is incorrect, the data sheet shows OD of seal is 4.631", where as the hub bore actually measures 4.560" (which is what Hanno quotes in his post here). There is also a discrepancy in the width of the seal as well, but that is not as important as the OD.

So, my question is, does anyone know if there is another SKF number for this seal, to suit the actual size required for the axle, and has anyone else had this problem?

[Lynn Eades]

Your no.1 seal, if it is correct for the F15, is probably the one that goes inside your axle housings to keep the oil in the diff and knuckle ends. The housing is usually dry between.

C01Q 1190B crosses over to gm 1809797
