Axle seal for L2000DT

[Jim67]

I have my rear axle out of my L2000DT and have ordered a new seal. Problem is the first seal I ordered was too small ID, so I ordered another one and it too was too small. I was using a superseded PN from an L225DT parts manual. I thought they were the same? The old seal looks ok but I don***8217;t want to go through this again anytime soon. Are they supposed to be the same? If not, does anyone have the seal PN for the L2000DT? Thanks

I think you need to look at a L255.....

Bill,
The chart is wrong, the L255 is also not a US tractor it's also a grey, it's a L1-255, there was never an L255.

Some parts off of a L225 will work on it, but I believe, the rear axle assembly is different.

Jim,
I think this issue has come up in the past, and I'm not 100% sure but i think it turned out to be a L235 or L245 has the same seals.

Post a picture of the axle assembly and we might be able to tell you what will fit.

Thanks guys. I will post a picture tomorrow eve. I tried to see a number on the original seal but cant see one.

Ahh, So that explains why I could not find anything on it!
Will have to make a mental note about that

I wonder if you could not just go to a "bearing" place or industrial supply,
here in Colorado Springs we have Whistler Bearing and they almost always
can match up a seal of that nature?

I got several seal from them for my L1500 and other implements.

I'm sorry, but I need to see the tractor side of the axle too.
