Not a shim. It's a very thin stainless steel sleeve that you press on to replace the seal wear area. See your local bearing supply house. Instructions for installation will come with the sleeve. Part # is SS99175.
OM, do you think they were talking about a thin shim to have the seal not go in so far so it would sit in a different spot than the worn groove? Instead of putting on a new wear sleeve like a person should. Just a thought!!!
May be but for $20 to get the right sleeve I'm not going to try to cobble things up with a shim.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
