48" deck spindle seal orientation
I'm working on a Gt 48" 317-190 deck spindle.
When I popped the old seals out, I noticed the lips on both seals were facing inboard. Is this correct? Seems to me it would lock the cavity and not allow grease in the cavity.

Can't wait. Going back together just like I found it.

I see there are a lot of people who read your post/s and you have no answers.
I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but I don't know if I understand what you are saying about the grease not getting into the cavity. The hole in the center of the spindle shaft that the grease is pumped into terminates well in between the seals. The seals should be put in so that when you add grease it can push past the seals without actually pushing the seal out of its seat. I hope this helps.

I appreciate the belated opinions!
 I think Sam Mac is right but I didn't do it that way. A long time ago, I rebuilt a 50" deck for an older model and I turned the lips I/b and then couldn't add grease. Looks like these bearings/races are also used as the outer wheel bearing for '60's Nova, Camaro, Chevelle front wheel bearings. I packed them just like wheel bearings so I shouldn't have to touch them for 30-50k miles or so!

My mistake, guess I don't know what a Gt 48" 317-190 deck spindle is.

An update. I still don't know what is right or wrong.
I do know that I have put bearings in three decks like the original post specified Since I posted this question. Two of them had the seals with all three seal lips facing inboard. One of them had two seals facing inboard and the center spindle seal was facing outboard. FWIW, the seal that was put in with the lip facing outboard was torn up, obviously by grass/weeds winding around the spindle and getting under the protective cup. I don't see how one could expect the seals to live with the seals facing outboard?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
