I will have to go digging for it out in the garage.   When it stops snowing.

The oem seal does not have the rubber outer edge to it.   But it may still work ok.

Mine is in a bin somewhere in barn for that series.  I would need to dig too. Raining here.   

Heading out with family since cant run chains.

Ok.   So I know there was some confusion on the shaft size of this seal due to some of my own errors.   

I looked at the OEM seal and the size on that says   18x35x4mm.   

So I got the one I ordered that is for a Husky 455 and it is 15x35x4.   So the shaft size on this seal will not work.   So for future reference
The correct shaft size is 18mm.   This is due to the way the oiler is designed on this saw.   That was an error on my part not knowing that when I first tore the saw down and measured it wrong.       So back to the search you guys.   Thanks for trying.

Also if I remember correctly a seal that is up to 6mm wide will fit without hitting the oiler.

Thanks Roger for pic.  I was thinking it had a bigger center hole. But I was off still in memory because I was thinking the metal outer was still skinnier in my mind.

18x35x7 Viton. Colonial Seal Company[New Jersey] has on there site a seal with these dimensions. Viton has a better gas resistance than NBR.

The 7mm wide will not work.   6mm is the max width that it can go.   The oiler will hit if any wider then 6mm.

I looked up their web site and they provide a number to call with questions.  Could have possibilities  Thanks.

They have NBR seals 5 mm wide. I do not know how NBR resist to gasoline and ethanol. If the specs are aceptable maybe you can try those[ much cheaper].

 You can cut 1 -1,5 MM from the inner side of the seal, only the robber coating.

I'm gonna throw this out there. Not sure it will stick. Try at your own risk.

Not saying I tried it yet but looks like I'd be willing to take a chance. Ordered two offen' another feller for $12.50 w/free ship.

NOS Honda CB92 18x35x5 Oil Seal 91305-202-000

Get lots of hits on the Googler for the Honda part number. Possibly some would be a lot less with shipping than this Ebay link.  A couple of the hits mention it goes behind the alternator or breaker plate of an old Honda skooter, so it is a crank seal of some sort. Might save a few saws from the trash heap.

We just drag them down..... Until they're just like us !!!  BNL
