Kirk:
For the rear main seal on the LDT-465's, I would suggest you avoid the NOS
parts.
Call your local Caterpillar dealer and purchase a new rear main seal for a
3208 engine.
I think it is part number 7W-3200, but I am not sure. I got the info from
someone on this list (wish I could give proper credit where it is due, but I
am forgetful, so please accept my apologies. Might not matter anyway since
some people have unsubscribed recently).
This seal has given me no problems and seems to be of higher quality and
better design and/or construction than the NOS rear main seal.
If that part number doesn't work for you, I can go to my shop tomorrow and
see if I can't dig up the package from my last rear main seal replacement,
which was done about a year ago.

Subject: [MV] LD-465-1C Rear Main seal et. al.
Hi all.
I need a rear Main seal for a White LD-465-1C engine form a 1970
Kaiser-Jeep M45A2 (M109A3 Shop/Instrumentation Van). As an aside, I have
unsuccessfully used NOS rear outer axle seals in the past and would like to
find a source for a brand-spanking new rear main.
Since I'll have the tranny, flywheel, etc. pulled, what other parts should
I consider replacing?
My list is:
Clutch
Pressure plate
Throwout bearing
Pilot Bushing/bearing
And, can anyone provide me with info on clutches, etc.? My feeling that NOS
clutch, pressure plate, bearing/bushing would be fine but I want to stay
away from 30 year old rubber (ie: seals).
I am going to call Memphis, Antelope Valley, and Sam Winer motors but would
appreciate any responses, advice, horror stories, etc..
Thnx!
-K
