Update on Homelite Seal # 12306

[mack2]

The Question From Jarhead and others , is Seal # 12306 available from The After MARKET SUPPLIERS . The ANSWER IS A BIG FAT NO But keep on READING
This Seal # 12306 was made and supplied by The Garlock Company , established in 1887 in Polmyra NY. The Garlock Company was the supplier to The Homelite Chainsaw Company
supplying over 90% or if no all of their needs. This seal # 12306 is a TRULY ONLY HOMELITE SEAL .This seal was made to go with their Special Roller Bearing # 63195 made for
them by the Torrington Bearing company ,Torrington Bearing # DD 38048 ,their size of 0.625' ID X 1.156" OD x 0.5325" wide ,there is NO seal made to fit this DIAMETER .
SORRY YOU WILL HAVE TO MODIFY a SEAL TO FIT , I suggest that YOU use a Rubber Moulded Seal like a TCM/Dichomatic # 16 x 30 x 5 SC ,size of 0.630" x 1.181" x0.177'SC OR
their 5/8" x 1.3/16"" X 3/16 Moulded Rubber Seal . Sand or File Down the outside diameter to aprox. 1.160 , this leaves about 0.005" for the Squeeze to FIT . ok CLAUDE (mack2)

I left out this information , Like most Clam shell design Chainsaw that Homelite saw models they have used these saw models - 450 - 550 - and DM50 the Seal and the Roller
bearing have the same Outside Diameter , Yes the saw model 650 used the same roller bearing # 63195 ,it is built a different way and uses a 12282a seal .
The saw models Super 650 and the 750 saws uses the 12306 seal at the PTO side ,Sealing and riding on the oil pump Gear # 12071. These saw also must be Modified to FIT . OK .

why has no one ever thought of going to your Seals supplier and make them for you (if they don't already have one equivalent)..?
