So, I've been dealing with a shaft seal leak on my roots 59 blower. I finally figur eout what the problem was at thebeginning of last week and start seeking out a seal from a Roots dealer. The one I called finds one and has it sent, I get it a day later. Never having seen what the seal looks like, I assume I have the correct one. I spend part of yesterday and part of today removing the belts, exhaust, pulleys, so I can remove the front cover only to find that I have the wrong seal. I can't put it back together because the seal is brittle and broke up when removing, so I have to cut down the seal I got and epoxy it inside the old one to get me by until I get the correct seal only to repeat the process all over again. What a waste of my limited free time.
