    Hey guys, new to the forum and would like your input on engine seals. I searched for any threads regarding seals but did not see anything. If there is one please tell me.

    I have a 79 Husky 125 that I am rebuilding the engine. I have aquired new bearings and am now looking to get new seals. The ones that were in the engine are Corteco's with the following information on the side:

    CORTECO I1 CFW BAUD1SL 20-35-7/6
    CORTECO B4 CFW BAB2SL 25-35-6/65
    CORTECO I2 CFW BAU3SL 25-47-7

    They are rubber coated double lip seals and I would probably want to go back with the same thing. However, these numbers appear to be outdated and I am having trouble finding a cross reference number. The place I bought the bearings from can get seals but they aren't sure about these numbers because of the slashes (ex: 20-35-7/6). Any new seals seem to be just a 7 or a 6. The parts book only gives the size of the seal without a slash so I am not sure either. :excuseme:

    Now for the questions. Does using a 7 or 6 instead of a 7/6 make any difference as long as the width does not make the seal extend beyond the flange? Do you know of a replacement? Can you recommend a brand and give seal numbers?

    Thanks.

    seals

    The numbers like 25-47-7 is the size in Metric mm which is handy for reference. 25 is the shaft diameter, 47 is the outside diameter and 7 is seal width. Alot of times the width will be a combo of two numbers 6/7 is for a variance. Hope this helps!:thumbsup:

    Have you measured the thickness of the old seals?Use that size and you be fine.I just bought some of those seals for a husky project from a bearing supply house.

    No, I haven't measured them yet. They are still in the flanges. It looks like I will have to do that.
