Those 2 National seals mentioned earlier are not the correct seals according to the specs given by Al.I called my local bearing hopuse & they have a metric seal that'll fit the bill.I'll be going there on Thurs.to see about getting them.I'll be reporting back when I find out which seal is the correct one.The sales guy there said to bring the saw in as well so he can measure the pocket & shaft to get a proper fit.

The example I found on flea bay was in the $25 range .I was attempting to research Chicago Rawhide,National and Garlock using the part number 65194 and RM-1 to no avail .Google did a better job than me trying to read tiny little numbers .Never the less it's out there some place ,just have to find where it's hiding .As far as the Remington saws of which I have a few they resemble the Homelite XL-12 in design which leads me to believe the same design engineer had a hand in it .Joyce in Indiana AKA "chainsaw lady " would have known but sadly she passsed away a couple of years ago .Larry Stiener of Mentor Ohio( house of saws ) would know .

I didn't find a name but I did find this ---According to some accounts, the designer responsible for this, and similar designs sold to companies like Remington and Lombard, likely maintained similar design aesthetics to avoid patent issues while creating popular, light-duty saws.
