Drive shaft seals

[Dean Eechaute]

New to the forum. I have a garden series Cadet 1864. Been a great tractor and over the years it has needed a few parts and never been an issue until now. The drive shaft to the hydraulic drive has two seals that are coming apart on my tractor. Found this when the input shaft to the hydrostatic pump was leaking. Replaced the seal and found my drive shaft seals in bad shape. The part number is 735-3029, They are no longer made. Every search came up with nothing. There is one of these on the steering shaft also but that one is fine. Ended up finding a couple of used on the web and hopefully that will be good enough to get me by for some years but curious what others have done for this? Dean

Not much yet, they just went NLA last October. I have sent one out to 3 places checking on pricing to make them.
