When your steering starts feeling loose or you notice dust and moisture getting into your steering gear box, it’s worth checking these seals first before replacing major components. This felt dust seal might look simple, but it’s your first line of defense keeping dirt and debris from contaminating the steering mechanism that keeps your tractor pointed where you need to go. This seal uses specialized materials that stay flexible and won’t break down from temperature extremes, creating barriers against contamination.
What You’re Getting
- TISCO quality construction built for the tough conditions your Ford tractor faces
- Felt material that stays flexible in winter cold and creates effective barriers against dirt and moisture
- Outer positioning on the rocker shaft where it’s most exposed to contamination
- Two-seal design (2 required per application) for complete protection coverage
Built for Real Farm Work
Your Ford tractor’s steering system works hard whether you’re navigating tight spaces around buildings, backing up to implements, or maneuvering with a loader up front. Steering is one of those systems you don’t appreciate until it stops working properly – especially with a heavy loader that makes manual steering nearly impossible. This seal fits the rocker shaft area where dust and moisture naturally try to work their way into your steering gear box.
Made to Last
The felt construction handles temperature swings and agricultural conditions that would destroy lesser materials. Unlike rubber seals that can crack or harden, felt dust seals maintain their protective properties through seasonal changes and the vibration that comes with field work.
Good to Know
This application requires 2 seals, so you’ll want to replace both at the same time for balanced protection. Clean the area thoroughly before installation and inspect the shaft surface – even minor grooves or rust can affect seal performance. While you’re in there servicing the steering, it’s a good time to check your steering fluid level and condition too.
