Front wheel oil seal question
How "critical" are the oil seals on the front wheel hubs? I could understand if the hubs were filled with oil, but bearing grease it pretty stiff and I can't imagine much if any working its way out the back of the hubs. I likewise understand the role of the felt washers in helping keep dirt out of the hubs/bearings, but I won't be using this machine for plowing or other field work; just to mow and push snow. The reason I ask is that new seals run $26.00 ea.; new wear rings for the hubs run $25.00; and new felt washers are $6.00, so I'd be looking at $110.00 or so to do both sides. It wouldn't break the bank, but I'd rather spend the money on other parts I need to finish my restoration. The seals and washers that are on there now are obviously worn, but still intact. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

My thought is if you did it right at this time it will probably last you the next 60 years.

What about for keeping water out?
