so the inner is a stemco ; can tell by the blue color also looks to be 2129 0n the seal. enlarged still not clear. I can't remember what the outer seal rides on. spacer /axle shoulder ? seal way smaller then the outer bearing.

now pay attention !!! you are three hrs LATER because if it's 8:30 PM here NOW ;;;; You don't see 8:30 PM till three hrs LATER ~. I could be a politician .

since this was a flywheel/ transmission swap 'not just flywheel . I couldn't remember. Thanks.

1 1/2 old school (very old school). don't recall for sure ; think Baskins 4070'sIH =318 DD had the 9513 1 1/2 shaft. the K100's 350 DD had the 2 in shaft.

take a break ; keep forgetting Your three hrs later. it's dark east coast.

question for the teacher> does the 14 use a 2 in shaft same as the 15?? not a 1 1/2 ? torque HP different in today's world, is this conversion taking a E-7 flywheel =installing on an E-6 crankshaft using the clutch/ pressure plate assy from E-7.? interest due to situation many yrs back ;; not to off topic BUT! built a U-600 glider for company. technically it was a U=611ST . Mack 673 T with a RT 9513 RR. did you know a 1 1/2 pilot shaft will work in a 2 in double disc clutch for over a yr !!LOL

that's all it is . seal located in center of hub or in axle cap ?? yours has caps correct =it's only a S = has 44's?? with caps ??

ring is a throw away by the picture. manufactures such as National didn't have a ring. hubs had grooves worn into them. stemco back then was "the cat's ass" for seals. I don't know what a cat had to do with it ;;don't ask!!LOL

agree 100 per cent.

don't see a reason for any one seal not being available. basically depends on ;; 1- access to seal installers for seal being used. 2= not owning a fleet. your not going to spend $$$ for seal installing tools (1 or 4). have used the old C/R seal to install a new one. right diameter , can tap old against new . works great. proper c/r tools (had them also) are the best for total install, let us not forget others such as National (not my #1 choice).

was never a fan of the chisel Technique idea . one persons idea of a "blunt" chisel could be ???? hammer tapping number of spots on the ring worked for me. didn't take a 20 lb sledge hammer. install the bearing and new seal ; fill hub full as possible . install.

stemco used the two piece seal configuration which required a ring installer and seal installing tool. to keep in competition with manufacturers such as C/R having the one piece spin within it self seal ; stemco came out with the "spin within itself version. :NOT needing tools for install. light oil outer rubber ring =install with palm of your hand. all though said to be "prelubed"; personal preference was to oil inside of seal while in hand spinning seal within it self. far as the outer seal which not going there again; outer seal on axle hub not needed. keep on eye on leakage from wheel hub itself. some weren't best casting then, grease didn't leak through . change over to oil ==== you will know of poor casting.

OLD SCHOOL.

a number of B's having different models came earlier then '62 = = = B613----"55=56/ .633 or B 673.all late 50's production. hood clearly reads B615. either way could be a fun project. one concern would be label of "seized "engine looking at the open ports and valve covers unsecured,

according to "the book" the B615 of which 575 where made came into production from 1962- - 1966.
