• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Rear rim outer seal?.

I have a 79 rear rim it is missing the outer wheel bearing seal. Does anyone know the seal number?
 
The seal goes into the hub. I am pretty sure you can order one from Halls with the information supplied above. It is unclear if you want the part number or the id , od and thickness and some other codes for the type or configuration of the lips.
 
I need the old, the I'd and the thickness if no number is available. After market is affordable.
 
I'm with you on aftermarket seals and wheel bearings. I take a handful of seals and wheel bearings to my local bearing shop and they can usually hand me all new in about 10 minutes. It can be as easy as an oil change. After a ride or two with a squishy back end, I'm fairly proactive when it comes to replacing wheel bearings, too cheap not to replace on a bike that's been sitting, or on one that's due for a major service.
 
I am pretty sure some of my wheels do not have a seal. Most do, the spacer is the same to make it mount up. As with most all applications similar there is a piece the seal rides against that, seeing as these are dirt bikes, gets a wear ring right where the seal lip rides. Change them sure, ask on an internet forum if you can't or don't want to figure it out yourself. For me a bearing shop is close to an hour away. I consider them industrial supply not aftermarket. Aftermarket to me means all balls, tucker rocky, parts unlimited and not sure those are going to save you enough $ over the Husky supplier to bother. Heck some of the parking donations are $15 at events now. Actually I have gotten stuff like this at NAPA. You may well be offered a choice of different parts all with the same dimensions. Just went through this on something else besides a motorcycle and the oem part was more impressive. Not that it matters for a wheel seal, If you really care take the wheels off after a mud ride, and clean as one seems appropriate.
 
I find everything online cheap but I perfer viton seals for crank seals. I ordered standard seals for the rims not viton.

Fast shipping too. Time to shop smart. Next I need to disassemble tranny and get numbers for tranny bearings. I can do that. I want to build the tranny's with new bearings too.

Sorry there was no seal in the rim and my digital calipers are mia so I asked here. My digital calipers are in a box of parts somewhere. The parts are coming in so regularly I can't keep up. I ordered shelving to setup my parts department. Large plastic bins so I can pull parts for each bike as needed.
