Axle seal

[Keith R]

Anyone know the part # of an axle seal to fit a MTD 990 hydrostatic transaxle. Mine has a bad leak, gearing up for hauling out next winters wood.
Thanks in advance.

Sure hope someone here will help with that. I think a couple of guys have 990's on here. May not have ever needed to change seals before though. I have been working on it's little brother. MTD 669.

Measure the old seal and the axle diameter and go to NAPA or a CC dealer.

Try Parts Tree but will need the year and/or model number of the tractor. They have several listed but without the other info hard to say which one is the right one.

Sorry Keith I just seen your post. Your part is #50 in the manual with a part # PE-788049. Of coarse you have two. Here are a couple of links.

Not sure why Amazon is so high

Jacks has a shipping charge thar could make up the difference.

You’re probably right Rad that’s why I listed the Amazon part. For me Amazon is much more convenient and usually cheaper.

Thanks again to all who answered my post.
The seller on Amazon does not ship to Canada.
Ordered two from Jacks small engine, $44.59 with shipping to Canada fo both.
