Does anyone know how to install the rope seal on the crankshaft on the rear end on a Case 1490?
The repair instruction book says that the two rope seals are made in the length it should be, and tells how to install it, and that I can not cut anything of from it.
The rope seal I have is not original parts, and it sticks out about a half centimeter, much more than in the book.
Someone said that the rope seals should be laying in oil before installing, but the book does not say anything about that.
Should I use oil?
Another strange thing is that I got the rope seal from a seal kit for the lower part of the engine, and this seal kit is the same as the kit for the Case 1390 and 1290. But 1290 and 1390 has a thinner crankshaft than the 1490, so if the rope seal in the seal kit fits 1490, it could possibly not fit 1390.
