Well the more I get into the 475 the less I like. It looks to
me like someone did some repairs on this before. Screw heads
that are rounded out and check this out.
This is the seal on the clutch side. They had this sleeve
pushed up into the seal for what reason I do not know. I have
not had one of these apart before but have a hard time believing
it was made that way. No sleeve in the IPL that I can see.
The only thing I can think of was no one could find the correct
seal so this was the fix. Have a look tell me what you think.

Which oiler you have on yours? Metal pressed on worm gear or
the plastic oiler wing? Sorry cant think of proper name.
I know the husky 372 uses a sleeve. I havent seen one on mine
but that dont mean I didnt over look it. I am thinking one of
the 505 with plastic wing oiler gear might have a sleeve. Will
look later to be sure or not.

The worm gear is metal but even it does not look right. It is
not one of the ones that looks like it has wings that drives off
the clutch drum. This one was metal and it looked like it had
been cut away some and it just slid right off, was not a press
fit.
Even though the worm gear like on the 505 that uses a spacer,
would not have the spacer fit up into the seal and against the
bearing.
The way this thing was set up was a recipe for air leaks.
The only reason I never started the saw when I got it was
because of the start of scoring on the piston. That was why I
started right away looking for crank seals. Then later I
decided to do a compression check and the bearings started to
lock up on it. I think I got taken on this one. Oh well.

Yep one in the same.
This has now put me on a mission. I have to much money that I
paid for the saw to just let it sit. So I am going to yank the
seal out tonight and take all the necessary measurements and try
and find one that way. Then I will address the oiler problem.
Maybe convert it to a worm gear with the wings that drives off
of the clutch drum.
It is going to be interesting what I find with the bearings
after I split the case. I now have the starter, flywheel,
clutch, oiler all removed and I cannot believe how rough it
turns over. I will update as I go along.

I went and took pics of the 505 with plastic oiler gear with
wings set up.

Then I looked at my 475 with metal worm gear on crank. I didnt
take the 475 to the seal for a pic though.
My 475 is just like this Poulan 415 475 IPL

Alright so I removed the seal and took some measurments.
Shaft .588
OD. 1.375
Width max. .250
found SKF 6814. Looks like it might work. I ordered one
should have it in a week.
When I removed the seal the bearing looked very dry no oil at
all from what I can see.

No I tracked it from the beginning but that saw looked beat and
since I already have one I am working on for now.
Besides the seller was not sure if it was 415 or a 475. I know
I was not iterested in a 415.

Kevin when you worked on your 505 or 475 did you use a crankcase
gasket when you put it back together. I looked at the IPL and
do not see a part number for it.
