For the 3rd time the PTO output seal has blown out. Any ideas what's going on? The vent seems to be clear, correct amount of oil. The Kubota seal is one of those with the rubber around the OD of the seal and honestly, I think it's easier than it should be to drive it in. Anyone have any ideas or a part number for a better seal?

Take the seal to a place that specializes in bearings and seals, and tell them the problem. They can probably spec a seal that's slightly larger for the same shaft.
Where I live, my go-to place is called "Bearing, Belt, and Chain". You get to know these places well if you work on rare, old machinery.
If you're really ambitious, you can probably measure the seal yourself, do the research online, and then just call them up and order what you need over the phone.
