Rear Hub Seal F60S LAAT

[Lynn Eades]

Rob, for a trip down memory lane there is a thread:
MLU FORUM > MILITARY VEHICLES > The Carrier Forum. Rear axle seals.
FORD Timken axles as found in a carrier or civvy axles do not have seals in the axle tubes and do not have a machined surface on the half shaft for a seal to run on. There is also no specific stepped area inside of the rivets that a seal might sit against. (I have a carrier diff in pieces at the moment) I assume the F60S LAAT is the same??? (other than the ratio)
There are obviously two types of outer seals (leather and metal- see the other thread) and it seems that in some applications there was never an outer seal fitted. I don't know of a variation that has tube seals, but I am a learner.
