Default oil seal

Hi all,

I have looked at all the photos of when I rebuilt the gearbox in the Alligator. I think its the same unit as you chaps have in your carriers and I cant see a oil seal anywere. But I do have an oil baffle fitted just behind the bearing.

Could this be missing from your box Brad?.

It is listed as part number 7040 it is shown in the exploded parts drawing taken from my 1932 - 1948 V8 Service manual.

I see that Tony has fitted a bearing with a rubber seal to try and keep any oil in. Thats a good idea but in practice these seals are only designed to keep the dirt and grime out of the bearing and grease in. Should the gearbox create any sort of preasure which is unable to get out the dust shield will be the first thing to pop out.

But thinking along the same lines If you were to fit a bearing with metal shields these are more secure and are less likly to come out.

Bryan
