Description
When you notice grease or oil leaking from your wheel hub, it’s more than just a mess – it’s a warning that expensive bearings could be in trouble. This inner hub seal is the critical barrier keeping lubricants in and contaminants out of your front wheel bearings. A worn seal doesn’t just waste gear oil; it invites dirt and moisture that can quickly destroy bearings and create dangerous steering play.
What You’re Getting
- Precision 48mm x 65mm x 16.5mm dimensions for exact fit – no modifications needed
- Double-lip design provides backup protection if the primary seal starts to wear
- Heavy-duty compound formulated to work with both traditional grease and modern oil-bath systems
- Spring-loaded sealing lip maintains consistent pressure as surfaces wear, compensating for normal shaft movement
- Direct replacement – installs exactly like the original factory seal
Built for Demanding Work
This seal fits Case CS and CVX Series tractors along with McCormick MC and XTX models – machines that handle everything from loader work and heavy tillage to hay operations and field cultivation. The inner seal must contain lubricant while the hub assembly handles steering angles, vertical loads from rough terrain, and torque from the front drive system. Whether you’re pulling through wet fields or making tight turns around buildings, these hubs take serious abuse.
Made to Last
This seal’s 16.5mm width provides substantial sealing surface to handle the complex forces in modern front hubs. The double-lip design offers redundancy – if the primary lip develops minor wear, the secondary lip continues protecting your bearings. The materials are engineered to resist the heat and chemical breakdown that destroys cheaper seals.
Installation Tips
After removing the wheel and hub assembly, clean everything thoroughly and inspect the seal running surface on the shaft – even minor grooves require attention. Install new seals perfectly square using appropriate drivers and pre-lubricate based on your system – never install dry. A quick tip: when one hub seal fails, consider doing both sides since they’ve got the same hours and operating conditions.
