Thwaites drop box oil leak

[Mike_510]

Hi
New problem, got a leak from Dropbox on Thwaites all drive 4000, not massive leak but annoying as nearly all the other jobs are now complete and just needs painting.

Does anyone know it if oil seals are available, having difficulty getting part numbers.

Is it a big job, I don’t think they tapered bearings, so don’t the think the hubs need to be preloaded when refitted,

Anyone carried this out themselves any advice.

Thanks.

There is a firm West Country way who will supply you everything you need, probably just from a description of the dumper. Forget the name. @JD450A will know for sure.
