Go to a bearing supply house with the part number on the seal . It should be on the seal somewhere If you cant find the number get the dimensions on the shaft diameter , depth of the seal ,and outside diameter of the seal . They should also have Speedi Sleeves to make a lasting repair . Unless someone chimes in with a Mercury part number , or whereabouts there is a Motion Industry right in your hometown
