Hi All
Project Phoenix, 1942 C60S needs two seals, namely the rear outer hub plus two Timken bearings with number 3984 stamped on them. I need these to fully refurbish the rear axles. The smaller inner seals and bearing 462 I managed to obtain. Hopefully images of the seal are attached, first time in this new format. Bob

Bonjour Bob
The only two places I know of for the outer seals are Brian Ashbury in Canada and Dirk in Holland...... The bearings should be source by the dimension size and not by the parts number..... I have had no problems finding new modern parts match for all the bearings and seals for my project except the elusive front axle New Process #928....... Give us some "in-progress" pictures and details of the problems you encountered. Bob

Hi Bob
These seals have come up before on MLU you might try a search to see some of the previous comments. http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...rear+axle+seal Having said that I've have never found a modern replacement for this seal though some more recent GM military equipment use a similar seal, different size. The purpose of this seal is to keep the rear end grease from running out into the brake and to prevent water from entering the axle housing when deep water fording. I've run my Pattern 13 C60S with out these seals since 1990 and have never had a problem. Of course I don't operate the truck on extreme side hill slopes anything up to about 10 degrees with no problem. I've even taken the truck further than that when it was stuck in a ditch with out problems. If you do leave these seals out you want to be sure to use a tab locking washer between the nuts to keep them from backing off.

Phil & Bob
Thank you for your comments and I read the previous thread with interest. These seals are important as my brake shoes and drums were saturated in oil and grease rendering them useless. Images attached before and after plus refurbishing and stainless lining of the slave cylinders. Max - please PM with what you have, lenses come to mind. Bob
