CCKW Front Axle Knuckle Seals

Post by D6c » Sun Jan 15, 2023 12:13 pm

I'm looking for a source for the knuckle seals for a banjo front axke,
I know I can get them through CaseIH dealers as they used the same seals on a tractor front axle with planetary final drives in the '70s or early '80s. The problem being that a set of seals (seal, felt, spring, and gasket) from CaseIH will run you about $450.
I have a pair of the springs for the seal but need the other parts.

spring: https://www.messicks.com/part/503079C1/spring-valve
felt seal: https://www.messicks.com/part/503083C1/seal-assy
oil seal: https://www.messicks.com/part/503082c1/seal-assy
gasket: https://www.messicks.com/part/473016c1/gasket

I think they're all the same parts but haven't verified it yet.

I don’t have the part number, but m211/m135 seals are the same. Replace the inner axle seal too, as that is the one that actually leaks oil into the knuckle.

Memphis equipment, M135 M211. Not the best quality felt, and no spring in the kit but price is reasonable.

I have the rubber wiper NOS made in the USA. They are from the 50's. I bought a box of 50 some years back and sold some and no ones complained about them breaking like the ones you buy in the kits that are out their. If not installed right I guess you can break them. if you can get ahold of VOV they did carry the felt part.
