Farmallregular Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I rather doubt you'll find anything with asbestos in it these days....That being said, any bearing & seal place should either have or be able to order whatever size rope packing you need, then just cut it to length. I bought some for one my antique tractors at Rocket Seals in Denver...they had the appropriate size in stock.Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
