Building a 16hp longtail I'm just going to use bushings At both ends. I don't think I did a good job sealing the last longtail I built I just sandwich the seals between two bushings. What's another way? |

Stack the seals on the outside of the bushings, not on the inside... stack 4 going out in out out and 2 in the top going out... The object is to keep grease around the bushings... |

I did that but holding the in what I did was take a flang bushing And sandwich them together on both ends should I have made a housing. |

Search harder.... There is a wealth of info on this site and this topic has been discussed many times... larger pipe welded over the end of the shaft housing |

some form of cap, you can thread the outside of the housing to accept a cap to hold it all in, with a hole for the shaft... I guess you could tack on a washer at the end but if you gotta replace it know youll have to buzz off them tacks and reweld a cap on when youre done |

I would think you would damage your seal pushing it past the threads |

don;t push your seals past/over the threads turn them or screw them on like a nut.less chance of doing damage to them. |

Just take some electrical tape and cover the threads.... slide on seals.... remove tape... |
