Weren't the original ones a darker grey in color? I still have the original one on my RX. That probably says more about how much I use machine but seriously if you keep it lubed, why would it go bad?

You really don't see the problem?

Clearly you are pulling way to much CFM..

The new seals are not like the old grey ones.
These need to be swapped out every 10 hours and resoaked in oil to keep them running.
I am sure some supplier has some of the original grey ones sitting on a shelf somewhere.

I use the gray ones......got a bunch soaking in oil at all times.

Could it be all the sandy soil in Arizona, Jim??

No the old ones are like the ones for the 360i just smaller...they keep there shape and hold up really good.....

the new ones are so limp you have a hard time setting them in the grove..and because they stick up so high above the head..they just shred....

personally...its just pathetic that they would even think about putting these things out and sell them to people...
I guess that since newer and better machines are coming out the only way that they can make money is to sell crap like this and have us keep coming back and having to replace them...
