This oil seal is installed on the front axle of the host tractor, where it prevents lubricant leakage and keeps contaminants out of the hub or final-drive assembly. It sits between the rotating shaft and the stationary housing, maintaining a sealed boundary that protects the bearings and gears from dirt ingress and fluid loss. A worn seal typically shows as a visible oil weep or drip near the wheel end, which if left unaddressed can lead to bearing damage and increased driveline play. The seal is manufactured by Corteco to match the original housing bore and shaft journal geometry, so the lip contacts the shaft at the correct interference and angle without requiring shimming or adapter sleeves. On installation, ensure the seal bore and shaft are clean and free of burrs, and seat the seal square to the housing face to avoid lip distortion.
