I'm kinda in the same boat as you, Hubman. I'm rebuilding the spindles on my deck. My seals look brand new, still as pliable and snug on the spacers like a new one, but I'm hesitant to reuse something that old, and I'd hate to have to tear it apart again a couple years down the road just to save a couple bucks today.
Anyways, I cross referenced the seals to Chicago Rawhide, SKF #530484, but they're still just as pricey at my bearing joint as the IH Cub ones. Maybe your NAPA can cross to another brand.
