Rear axle seals...outer.....or whatisit?

[Bob Carriere]

I have been very lucky so far finding bearing and seals either from Forum referrals or Forum members. A store in Ottawa called Bearing Solutions on Industrial as also been of great help but now I am stumped......

The rear axle has a special seal....made like a large flat washer... has a tab that fits in the key way that keeps it from rotating... is held in place between the two large bearing nuts...... and usually have no parts number.???? except for one I found that reads....VICTOR...... 49850...... which of course DOESN't cross reference to anything...... on the outside of that large seal is a fabric coated in rubber and glued (vulcanized) to the outside perimetre of the seal... that rubber part rubs against the inner surface of the rear axle brake drum... at least the small center part where the the axle shaft is bolted in.......

Include is a picture.......

Can anybody help me source the little suckers?????

Phil.... did you replace yours?????

I have found a similar.....same design in neoprene... at the Weare truck show intended for a 5 ton army truck..... which tells me the design is not outdated and still used...... you guessed it... just a 1/4 inch two big to fit the CMP........
