Yeah, that's what my sheet looks like, no range though.

This is what I get.... Looks like a Dichtomatik seal.128203TC I can call them Monday.
A 1.290" rough shaft for a seal that's made to fit a 1.281 smooth shaft is miles off in my world. luckily we are talking about low'ish RMP so maybe it's possibleso I'm guessing my 1.290 is pretty close.
K - Nice chat..Well, it's going to have to work in my world
No but.... Does it smell like grapes????Let me guess, the Redline 75w 90 I use is known to cause axle shaft breakage.
Are the splines flush with the surface that seals?The seal housing arrived from Front Range, so these pictures are more for me to remember what I did. Most of you guys aren't going to go through all this baloney for a full float rear axle. Here's the spindle with the brass bushing we all know from the front axle which you need because of the birfield joint.

It gets pressed in there.

On the rear full float axle you don't need that bushing ( Thanks J Mack! ), instead you can put a seal there to stop the axle oil from ruining your day. Front Range sells a housing for that seal.

Then the seal. I have that same seal installed in the axle tube by the pumpkin, so now I have two seals per side to stop the oil from creeping out into the wheel bearings and brakes.

I believe Jim took it one step farther and machined out the spindle for the seal alone, making it a cleaner install.
Close, but is it w/in the range?128203TC I can call them Monday.
EDIT... On the paperwork I have it says Shaft Dia. 1.280, so I'm guessing my 1.290 is pretty close.
They put that on the label?!?K - Nice chat..
Can we talk about grape scented oil now?
Is it just axle lube? Or can it be gear lube in the pumpkin, like other 75/90?K - Nice chat..

Yes, no problem there.Are the splines flush with the surface that seals?
I've got a 40 thousand difference between the shaft and the seal and we don't know the range.but is it w/in the range?
Yes, I've run that in my diff's and they smell terrific & still no broken axles!They put that on the label?!?
