I'm replacing a leaky rear axle inner seal on a 53 Jubilee. OEM part seems to be coated with a metal plating (stainless?) and the inner portion of the seal seems to have a leathery consistency. There are no p/n markings except for a "CR" imprinted on the face. The shop offered a replacement seal which seems to be a poly type of construction. Does anyone know if this replacement is sufficient or if a OEM type (plated) is available? Tried random search on web but no luck so far. This is a one time job so want to get part that will last!! Thanks.

The CR stands for Chicago Rawhide. Most of the old equipment used leather seals for the radial shafts. I've attached a link for Chicago Rawhide. I'm not sure if they make a replacement seal for your application. Most of the new modern seals are nitrile or PTFE. They have the advantage of not drying out like the leather seals.

The seals available today are far superior than those of back then. I would not be afraid to put in the new seal and never have to worry about it again. ....
