Bombi speedo shaft leaks
- Thread starter JimVT

I exausted most of my options on seal finding. I need to get this fixed .checked ford and napa for a seal today with no luck. Has anyone solved this leak? I had good part numbers but was told it wasn't being made anymore. Jim
Can this be filled with aluminum with out the heat doing damage to the tranny? I can gind the speedo shaft shorter and fill the outer part with my welder. The seal may melt some but running cold water should keep some heat down ????

Have you taken the seal out and shown it to a bearing/seal parts supplier?(not NAPA, gag) I have never not been able to find a seal at the local bearing store and I've worked on some pretty oddball stuff, even in metric. It looks like a standard chevron seal from the pictures to me. Here in Alaska I use Alaska Bearing or BESCO. The aluminum route sounds like a bad idea to me.
I'd pull all that junk out and fill the hole with J.B. weld & call it good. Why have a speedometer in a snowcat anyway?
I agree with MTNcrawler, pull it out, but you can use a rubber expanding boat plug to fill the hole.
