Rear Hub Seal F60S LAAT

Rob, I see now that you are referring to the front axle, while I was talking about the rear.
Mark, check out your options. They should be found at lower prices than Jacques's listing?

Nope, rear as well.

Hi Mark,

The front hub seals you require I assume are the attached?
Pocket in hub for seal is shown with seal removed and the seal.

Imperial measurements of the sample should be enough for any bearing or seal supplier to match up. As a check you can measure the ID of the pocket, the OD of the steering end which it seals upon, and the depth of the pocket.

I downloaded the CR Seals catalogue and it is a wealth of info on seals.

Yes, the quote for the rear seals were outrageous but I only put it up to show the seal and the Timken/National number. You should be able to do a better price.

Rear seal BB 1175 C is a generic Ford part number for 1934 to 1948 large trucks so is available at a few vintage Ford parts suppliers.
F-15A Parts List refers to it as BB 1175 C also, so it is not unique to CMP vehicles which makes obtaining them easier.

Cheers,

They are from the US, so you need to factor in shipping, but when combined with other purchases, they work out quite economical ( for EarlyFord2OK on Ebay, some good parts there, and their shipping is always overquoted, works out cheaper in the end.)

Rob. Interestingly The British manual (Chilwell 63/63. Jan.43) shows seals at all 3 locations. The tube seal is shown in a rebate as you say.
I have 3 axles made in the USA (1940) for the N.Z. govmint to go in the 40 Bren carriers built here in N.Z. (they don't have the rebate or the seals) These would have been Truck axles for use (I assume?)with the enclosed prop shaft. These 1938 pattern axles have the weld on mounts for the two arms that go forward to the prop shaft housing and have crown wheels that bolt to the diff carrier.
Back to topic.
