And the seal runs on the crank, not the hub, on those engines.
Replacement seals are a few mm deeper so they run on a clean part of
the crank. No help is the leaking one is not the original...

My bad. You’re talking about a cut-out on the overhead feeder. I’n thinking
of a interrupter or sectionalizer, which look identical but are often used to
replace the older fuse holders.

Peter, I've had mine apart and replaced the seal once already, and
the seal rides the hub, hub goes over the end of the crank.
I think mine is leaking because I used an aftermarket seal and the
hub is scored.
A few years ago the price for a new hub was about $80, now they are over $200.

Yes, I thought of that and agree, but this one was really at the
transformer. I was lucky that the fault was in theirs, not mine and
easily corrected.

I was 'fraid they were gonna hafta change the transformer for an interior
problem, but they obviously found a loose connection on outside and
tightened it. This transform was installed only coupla months ago.
Reminds me: 'Bout 20 years ago, a new tenant moved into one of my rental
houses.
