Description
You’ve probably noticed a few drops of gear oil under your Ford 2000 or 3000 series tractor after it’s been sitting overnight. While a few drops might seem like no big deal, a leaking rear axle seal means your expensive gear oil is slowly draining out while dirt and moisture are working their way in. This outer rear axle seal stops that leak right where it starts, keeping your differential properly lubricated and protected from contamination.
What You’re Getting
- Precision fit with dimensions of 3.0787″ inner diameter, 3.8779″ outer diameter, and 0.484″ width
- Direct replacement for Ford 2000 and 3000 series tractors from 1965 and up
- Quality rubber construction that handles the constant movement and pressure changes of rear axle operation
- Works as part of a dual-seal system with the inner seal to provide maximum protection
Built for Real Farm Work
These Ford 2000 and 3000 series tractors are some of the most popular utility tractors ever built, still working hard on farms everywhere. Whether you’re running a hay operation, doing daily chores around the farm, or handling loader work, these tractors see steady use that puts stress on seals and bearings. The rear axle system takes a beating from constant turning, braking, and the weight of implements, making proper sealing critical for long component life.
Made to Last
This isn’t just any generic seal – it’s engineered specifically for the demands of agricultural rear axles. The rubber compound resists gear oil breakdown while staying flexible through temperature swings from sub-zero winter mornings to hot summer afternoons. The constant flexing and heat cycles these seals endure eventually cause failure, but catching it early saves major repair bills.
Installation Notes
The key is cleanliness during installation – any dirt will cause immediate seal failure. Inspect the axle shaft where the seal rides, as even minor scratches create leak paths. This outer seal works together with the inner seal to create a complete sealing system, so if you’re replacing one, it’s worth checking the condition of both. A proper seal driver helps ensure even installation without damaging the seal lips.
