Looking for Briggs # 19356 seal protector set

#1



Deleted member 97405

Years ago, Briggs made a seal protector set (#19356) that consisted of various sizes of thin plastic tubes that you could slip over a shaft to install an oil seal. Its purpose was to protect the seal if the shaft was a little rusty beyond the seal surface. Without this tool, you'd have to sand the surface of the shaft smoothe all the way to the seal location. This tool allowed the tech to install the seal without having to dress up the rest of the shaft as well. It's a huge timesaver and makes installing seals onto older machines a breeze. This kit unfortunately was discontinued a while ago, and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Does any retired tech out there have a kit they'd be willing to sell or know if there is anything equivalent out there? Thanks!

Years ago my kit got hard a brittle, so I tossed it. Found a cheaper way to do it. Purchased an assortment pack of heat shrink tubing which give me more sizes and works fine. Just need to remember to add a bit of oil to allow the seal to slide smoothly.

Never owned the protector set. Have been using old microfiche cards from day one. plastic covering from packaging works in a pinch also.

I use the pop can method. Cut a strip of pop can. Wrap it around the crank and tape the edge.

Pallet wrap for this black duck.
On some British bikes I use metric speedy sleeves which of course are stainless steel.
Won't work with all size of shafts but does with some .

I still have a new in box seal protector kit 19356 and would sell it for 10.00 plus shipping

Plastic food wrap and a touch of lubricant after a couple of minutes with a wire brush is what I use
The PTO shafts should be derusted then greased before pulleys / blade holders are refitted in any case .
