How to fit a Sure Seal on a TE20, TEA20, TED20 etc Rear Axle 

Hi Lance Greetings from good old blighty.Have been doing up a 1952 TEF20 and have found your videos a godsend,Thanks. Mike

Thanks Lance for your Old School knowledge , I guess this will work on a 1953 TO 30 right ???

Can I use the same "Sure Seal" for a 1954 Ferguson TO30? It look identical to the TO20.

Hi Lance, Kent here in Morrow Ohio. Will this seal work on a TO20 axle?

Any tips for freeing off the brake backplate / half shaft studs from end of the trumpet housing? (Not sure if i’ve used correct terms!) Can get the nuts off - but not free the axle! Thanks in advance!

I like the video on the TE20 sure seal fix but, I have not been able to install one on my 48 TE20 Ferguson. What seemed to be a simple seal fix turned into a lot of frustration. The seal seems to be pretty thin and easily damaged so maybe I have not used enough force to get it started. I was wondering if there is a seal that could be installed on the housing where the axle shaft end goes through? If there ever was one on mine, it has been removed and discarded. If you know of a seal at the housing, could you enlighten me on it and what the part number is. I did watch a video of another gentleman removing and installing a seal at the housing but I am not sure of the tractor model he was working on. Thanks for any info you may offer and please continue with your excellent videos. I suspect I am a tad older than you with a brain that is hard to keep up but you have certainly helped me tremendously on fixing my Ferguson. The very best to you and your family, thanks again.

So i have a TO-20 I would like to put 100% synthetic oil the motor do you know if i need a synthetic filter, If so do you sell them, if not can you point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Thanks Lance, very informative indeed. I have a 1948 TEA20 do you know if sure seals would be suitable for my tractor.

Quick question, I have a early te20, so if there isn't a seal behind the bearing what stops the oil from washing out the grease in the bearing?

Hi Lance. From Lincolnshire UK. At 75 years I got my first tractor a Fergie TED 20 1950. Engine, front axle and steering box all restored. Your videos have helped me enormously. Thanks. Started on rear axle and the seals need replacing. Just watched your SURE SEAL vid.... saved the day. You are a great bloke . Thanks again.

Just wondering when fitting a sure seal do you have to remove the old seal from the diff end ? Thanks

will these work on a 1950 TO20 US TRACTOR

I saw a comment on a TEF 20 restoration site advising against buying sure seals if your tractor has a serial no greater than 325000 because they don't fit as the design of the rear axle trumpets changed at 325001. I don't know if this is correct because I just changed bearings and seals as normal.

Very impressive video Lance.. Nice to see video that actually is very factual and helpful.. so many help videos out there with Dorks that seem to think there some kind of film stars that need attention and don't really help much.. Again excellent job Lance ...

Hi Lance, about to do this job but just wondering if there is any particular issue in removing the axle first from the tractor? For example do you need to drain the oil. Ive got my drum off so is it just the 6 bolts then pulls put? Cheers

Thanks Lance, off to order a couple of seals now Cheers, and thanks for these videos they have been a great help.

That's great Lance. This is something that I first did a couple of years ago and was surprised how easy it was to do. I think that a little clarification of what age tractors this is applicable for would be helpful, as you will know it is only needed for the early type Ferguson TE20 rear axles. The later ones (with grease nipples fitted) have a different type of seal arrangement, meaning that you just need to change the inner seal in the end of the trumpet housing.

Hows that.. I looked at doing the rear seal, decided too hard, placed an order for other stuff then this video played after I checkedout the other order. made a call and got these added to my current order. Good stuff.

Lance had a full week on my sun bed watching your TED20 videos and others. Never in my life have I been able to sit and not get board. Keep up the good work. I will be trying some of the jobs. Thanks again David

Thank you Lance. Cheers Roy.

I've got a te20 that I've just tooken the half shat off of and it doesn't have a seal like that, other wise it's completely simular.

Good one thanks lance, very helpful. When I put the half shaft back in the tractor. Is it one gasket only or one gasket each side of the back plate. Some say 2 and some say 1. Would like to know before I set up the end float. Thanks nick.

Hi Lance I'm working on a tef 20 with the rear axle seals .Can I fit the sure seal with the Innerseal in place thanks keep up the fantastic work mate

Hello Lance, Just fitted mine and as you showed you really have to chase it around a fair bit with no success. I found if you put a large washer on a bolt to hold one side down it then becomes very easy to get the rest started and easy to fit. Regards Charles @ Nerimbera .

Thanks for your video. I had this problem and I orderd the seals here in Holland. It's a much easier sollution. Greetings

Nice job Lance, Thanks for sharing this. I haven't seen that seal before.

Well done Lance ,I didn`t know that Sure Seal existed

Goodevening, I love your videos they're a great help to me as I never worked on a tractor like that, just bought it a year ago & now working on it as I have time, but I'm not sure what Model it is, on the name plate it just says TE 43411 would you know what it is by that #? Thanks in advance.

Hi Lance , Mate I got a leak on the lower linkage arms pins on a TEA20 , can’t find any info regarding how to get at these . Any advice would be great

Another timely video. I have to fix the seals on my TO20 restoration. Are the original inner and outer seals still in place? I bought both inner and outer seals and the sure seals as well. What about replacing the originals and adding the sure seal for extra protection? I hate oil on my brakes. One guy I talked to said you have to shim the axles properly so I bought some shims too. I'm a guy who buys everything needed first then does the job.I find when I am waiting for parts or money, the job doesn't get done. A little extra explanation would help. I enjoy your videos and your personality, Thanks!

Is this a good long term fix or would I be better off spending the extra time to replace the outside seal to stop my tractor from leaking?

Hi lance great video Just took axle out off t20 last night to replace Oil seal but now I will put a sure seal in it noticed a bit of movement in bearing is this normal Thanks Kevin

G'day Lance that's a great idea that sure seal, it's great that you give other blokes encouragement. These videos you do are getting a lot better editing is good, even though I don't have a tractor I just like watching mechanical and machining. Regards John

That bearing needs to be PACKED full of grease not just smear some on top. I inject them with a grease needle. Also its best if you take the seal and grind a taper on the edge to help get it started.

Hi Lance can that sure seal be bought here in Ireland in a tractor suppliers, or is it just available through Sparex in Australia.Cheers,Jimmy.

Great vidio I done this but found that the seal went down maybe 5 mil before touching seal is this ok

Now then Lance. Must be one of the occasions where progress really helps (unlike the computers on modern ones eh).

hi Lance really enjoy your videos have you ever worked on a Ford super dexta steering wheel shaft thank you

I'm replacing a bearing assembly on my 49 rear axle TO20 will I have to heat the assembly first like you did with just the bearing. Or just set it and press it on. Thank you

They have those seals for N series Fords as well. My 9N really needs them.

think i will have a go at that why did they not have them 20 years ago lol

I'm really appreciating these videos. the seals are a great find.

awesome

Thank You Thank You

Would it be beneficial to lightly pack the seal cup before tapping it home?

do they make them for 53 TO30?
