[Farmall] M PTO Shaft Leaks

[Mike Sloane]

Get the inside and outside diameters of the seals you need and go to the 
Chicago Rawhide website and look for seals that size. Then go to a local 
auto parts store and have them look up the price of those seals. If you 
are fortunate to have a bearing dealer in your area, just take the 
spec's to them, and they will do all the work for you and probably have 
the seals for much less.
