TUB SEAL
There are 2 Tub Seal designs, the original
Face Seal and the new Triple Lip Seal
introduced at series 17.
Face Seal
The tub Face Seal consists of the seal face
and seal body.
NOTE: All parts of the seal must be
replaced if either of the sealing surfaces
are damaged.
The seal face fits into a recess in the under-
side of the basket hub assembly. Also, the
seal body installs in the cavity on the top side
of the bearing and seal housing. The spin
bearing is located in a cavity on the under-
side of the bearing and seal housing.
Each of the two (2) sealing parts, the seal
face and the seal body, have sealing faces
which are brought into contact with one
another when the basket hub assembly is
threaded down on the drive tube. The
springs in the seal body exert pressure to
keep the sealing faces in contact.
Triple Lip Seal

Assembly used with the
21001867 Hi-Torque
Transmission Assembly.
NOTE:
Sealing surface
are on the O.D. of the
aluminum spinner hub
with no seal in the hub
cavity

The Triple Lip Seal and Bearing is only used with the High Torque Dual Drive
transmission. The 21001867 High Torque service transmission will include a Triple Lip Seal and
Bearing for proper matching of parts. The High Torque transmission will have An “HT” next to the date
