How did you mess up the crank seal?

Goin..... the cover that goes over the needles on the carb is upside down, the little cutout should be up. It's cut for clearance for the throttle wire that goes over the top of the needles. You can see the dent in the rubber where the wire has been hitting it
Like a dummy, I forgot to put mine back in.

Got that right
. Got me cleaning out many many many years worth of old files. Still searching.
Cut the lip of the seal trying to get it over the shoulder on the PTO side. They are the smaller seals for the .625 shaft, I figured I would give them a shot. Oops
Found them. Just 2 red ones both 1953 $2 and 1 1976 $2. Then a 1934 10 and 1950 10, 1969 10.
Just happy to have found them.
Now put them in a safe place where you won't forget.

Behind pictures on the wall would be a good place until your better half decides to give a few away.

Make a little tool like I posted, red wire nut cut down and shaped. Works perfect and stays in my tool box if I ever need it again. Lube the seals before installing. I never install a dry seal except what's on the new autos now.

I lubed the seal and was using a lip seal tool for automatic transmissions I just got impatient.
Was it like" oh oh almost got it, oh crap "
J J tell us where you hide them, then we can remind you when you need to find them again
Aint worth nothing. Just $ I'm going to hand down to my kid.
Only thing that went up in circulated value was the red 2's to 4-5. The 10's to 13-15. IMO just looks is cool for the youngins to see someday.
Makes me wonder what my mom and dad have hidden away.
Dad started handing down some of the family guns years back that were passed unto him.
Kinda like that. Got it over the shoulder then noticed the decent sized sliver of lip seal laying on the bench. It’s ok I’ll get it done eventually. And thanks for spotting the jet cover. That’s how it was when I got the saw and I haven’t touched the carb because PO put a fresh kit in it.
Been there once on my 3400, had it just about seated then the seal cocked sideways a bit and the next tap couldn't be stopped. Bent the crap out of it. Had to pull it and use the spare. [emoji21]

By the time I’m done I’ll be up to my eyeballs in crank seals with the amount I’ve ordered over the past week.
I knew that cover was there before by the little dent in the rubber. A few of mine have been in wrong when I got them. First time I took it off I didn't look to see how they went and had to find out how
