    Default Wheel Bearing Seal

    Does anyone know where I can find a wheel bearing seal for the old Kitfox wheels that came on the Kitfox IV? It has the 20x8x8 tires on a 3/4" axle.

    Only at Team KITFOX could you ask an, obscure parts, question about wheel bearing seal and get the Carquest part # in less than an hour! HIP-HIP-HORAY! By the way I need a crome reverse muzzler bearing for my Cushman "Super Eagle" circa 1962.

    NAPA crossed from the number #8763 for seals for me. My local Car Quest gave me the deer in the headlights look when I gave them that number.

    (Bearings are SKS A6075 but were near $20 each!)

    Thanks guys for posting this info. Mine is a model 2. I called Kitfox LLC for the seal as I have done in the past but they no longer carry and did not have a clue where to send me. Only one auto-parts store in my town, Orielly’s. So I went armed with the Car-quest part number and wound up with a perfect match.

    Orielly rear seal part #= 471633

    Since I had a clew from this thread, and I had a compromised bearing cage, I also tried to identify and obtain a replacement bearing through Orielly’s. They found it listed, but it was unobtainable to them. There were several hits on Amazon, I picked one and it was indeed a match, using this link:
