Where do I find seals for a 1937 Ford 2-Ton rear axle? The seals we pulled out are shot but have no numbers stamped on them at all. Does anyone have a number I can use to look up a replacement or a vendor that sell them? Thanks.
If you have the ID and OD of the seal, a "good" parts man (oximoron, I know) should be able to look something up for you.
If you can find a place that sells bearings they should be able to match up the seals to something they have in stock. I got mine from a local industrial supplier.
We're getting close. It would be part #1175 in the above pic. It would appear though that Ford used, and still does use, that number for many of their rear axle seals.
for your truck #'s are BB 1175-C and BB 1180-C First fits 4.56 OD 2nd is 4.80 OD not sure what they mean there though
That will do! Thanks! The #1180 is the snap ring that holds the seal in place. So the larger OD makes sense there. It's prob the same a the reciever groove for the ring.
Is it 4.56" outside diameter? If so, the Ford Part number is: BB-1175-C Or try National (Timken) Part number: 5751 A good NAPA, bearing supply, or early Ford parts supply should have it. Edit: Should have hit refresh before posting. Looks like you got it.
