Just for info, I did take the rear seal off. I took a sharp pick and pushed it through the rubber, hooked the inside of the seal and popped it right out. So glad I didn't have to go after it from the inside!!!!! I again went to my local Bumper to Bumper auto parts store and we found a match in the Chicago Rawhide seal line part number 13445 if anyone is interested in that info. Popped it in place with plenty of room to put the seal on a new part of the shaft to avoid the old seal groove and we were off and running with the brush hog again. Big smiles once again.
Have a great weekend,
Nick
