I will search for the seal I removed from my Crosley pump. The stationary disc of the seal is actually soldered to a thin plate of metal that is the same size as the sealing plate gasket. And on these compressors the spring is on the opposite side of the crank. Hopefully the existing seal will mate up with a little running and be fine

Sorry but the seals on all 3 of my Crosley pumps are leakers. I just disassembled the one to see how the seal was made and try to come up with a replacement. I came up with nothing but maybe you can be more successful. I decided to go with a new compressor that has available parts and seals.

This will excite you even more. 14th one down is a 1934, 5 & 6 - 5 bolt Crosley replacement seal in this old catalog I bought. First # is probably theirs but the #297 is an industry standard # and may lead you to a new seal if needed. Not sure if anyone sells it still or not but I am searching. I wanted to let you know how thankfull I am for your help. My page is blowing up!!!! I will get with you tomorrow a guy on here may have a seal for this compressor. I will give you a call as to what all intells in doing this job as I will need help!!! LMAO Also found another guy on here who has one and was able to buy SO2 from a supplier they use it in wine processing. But anyways will touch base with you tomorrow. Have a good night. This site is so awesome!!!!

Nice find! I'm jealous! I'd be tempted to give it a few more weeks in the garage and see if the seal sets in place after some use. Sounds like it may already have. Any chance you can take a video of it running? Last random question, is that also the original light bulb that came with it?

Here is some original specs I overlooked yesterday from my 35 manual. Its a little confusing at first but does list your E70 model. Your E70 is listed under motor size, this is where they are taking about when they say new models listed below take 2 lbs so2 and they say models listed below are 540 rpm. We also see that they list the bore and stroke of the compressor. All models but the C35 are 1 1/2" bore. All models are 1 3/8" stroke. Also tells us the compressor is made by Crosley. For the seal all it says is -seal ring.

For the seal all it says is -seal ring. Thats amazing and who would have thought Crosley made its own compressor. Now that explains why the seals are hard to find or not able to find them at all. That could be a good or bad thing as they had enough confidence in their own compressor. I think I am going to let it run for a while longer as you and everyone on here has pretty much said the same thing let it run a seat itself. Most say I should be fine. Thanks for the information.

That's very interesting that those types of seals are still made.
David,
I think you need to give your fridge to Gill for repair. He will then get in trouble by his wife, then I will come rescue it!
Gill,
If you can get those seals, maybe it's possible to repair a belt-drive as original. Lou has a wonderful two door Kelvinator that's complete, but has a locked compressor. It would be great to see that thing going again. I have a rather shabby 1935 belt drive Kelvinator in the garage running. It's awesome to hear it go. It beats the pants off a CA unit.

Travis, I think it might be possible to match such seals in some cases but not all I am sure. If the old seal can be removed and measured accurately it would be easier to find a match for it.
