Building a 346 and was wondering about the larger seal that come with the bearing kit. Pulled clutch off of my other 346 and all I see was the bearing but no seal . Any help appreciated.

The seal is there between the inner and outer race
Built onto the bearing?

Where you would normally see through to the bearing balls and cage there will be a seal.
The larger seal on ipl is of no use! Can be tossed?

The larger seal is the one in the bearing. It looks big on the IPL for all saws using that style seal.
everytime I order bearings and seals they send me a sealed bearing and one that is not and two seals. One seal for flywheel and the other that evidently goes no where. Thanks for your help.

If you bought husky bearings they should be SKF and one should be open while the other only having the seal on the outside already installed. If you are getting bearings with 2 rubber seals they are likely not OEM. PTO side is proprietary so dealer only. I would not chance running a regular bearing with a standard rubber seal for the PTO. The seals are much different to the OEM one.
They come from Husqvarna dealer.

isnt the larger seal already installed in the bearing when you get it?

Yes, in that pic he has a bearing with a seal already installed and another seal. Probably ordered bearings and seals not knowing the PTO bearing comes with the seal.

yes, but that bearing look to be the old one.
Instead shipping 525 43 42 01 they shipped the seal, thats how it look for me
yes, he pulled them from IPl and ordered from husky
ordered 3 different times and they send that large seal everytime

I just found this out yesterday also. I've done a bunch of 346-350 hybrids, but have had trouble finding un-destroyed 346 bottoms. Proprietary bearings suck...

then he did a mistake, you got seal 505416101 Instead of getting the bearing 525434201 who already have the seal installed
