Guys, I've been in these seal discussions before and here's how I see it...two seals doubles your expense!! These new seals with their technological advances will outlast any leather seal..ie..crankshaft seal in an automobile..3-4000rpms daily ,several hundred thousand miles..darn few ever leak..look at the technology and where it is being used in the auto industry..and in brand new agricultural products. My local Case-IH dealer has been in it for over fifty years and I asked him one day what he thought of putting two seals in place of one..he just smiled. He did say to always place the new seal on a part of the shaft the old one didn't run in..they do groove the shafts after fifty years and following this advice I have always got a good fit. I'm not saying anyone is wrong putting two seals in, it guarantees the fix but it does double your cost. Having done seals on two H's I have not had one fail me yet and I use only one seal per application. Good luck to you seal installers from Mike in Exeter Ontario
