Need a seal
 

Okay guys, I'm scratching my head on this one. I installed the seal behind the PTO end of the Onan P220 motor I'm rebuilding the other night and I screwed it up.:bash2:

I should have installed the seal in the bearing plate and then put it back together but I didn't. I tried to install it with the motor together and the seal is trash now.

Here is the weird part. The seal is a Chicago Rawhide part number 538037. That number is stamped on the metal part of the seal. The Onan part # is 509-0041.

I can not find this seal. I have checked with my local mom & pop auto parts store, O'Reilly's, Autozone and Advanced Auto. That number does not even come up in their system. The Onan parts places have it but ya gotta pay $8.00 shipping on a $12.00 seal and wait a week.:angry:

Here are the seal specs.
Shaft OD = 1.625
Bore = 2.371
Width = 0.5

Why doesn't this seal come up anywhere?

Try SKF 538037

Thanks Sam, I found that too. All the places I checked, typed that number in their system and nothing comes up. They can't even cross it over. That is strange.

Probably a priority part. Like cub throw out bearings.

Your prolly going to have to use a 3/8 wide seal as that is what comes up
