Wayne-
Yes, one of the two seals has to be backwards so that excess grease can escape. I can't remember if it's the top or the bottom one, but I'd guess the bottom. If you have a CCC service manual it has the instructions for servicing that style spindle.

I have found some more crazy stuff to deal with on this 128 I'm dealing with. The engine is from an earlier cub with no serial/model numbers. As can be seen the dip stick is on top instead of in the cam cover. The good news here is the engine shouldn't have grenade gears. The pto has a thrust button apparently from a braking pto yet the wear button is brass. How long would that last???? That PO had to be on drugs or else his wife was abusing him. He needs a knot jerked in his a$$ for selling something like this and for way too much at that. It does appear to have a wf pto with the double springs, etc.
If anyone has an idea as to the models this type of engine tins were used on please let me know. I think it was an earlier nf engine from what I've seen on others. Something like a 127???

Wayne, I assume by "engine tin" you are referring to the heat shield above the muffler. That could be from a 1x8/9 series or 1x6/7 or 1x4/5. There is some variance between them, mainly the position of the hole for the spark plug. I believe the 1x2/3 used a heat shield that had the sloped edge bent at a more severe angle, I'll post a photo of 1x2/3 version shortly.
Wayne- Did a quick flip through of the parts book and the 128 is the earliest one I found with that heat shield with the rib stamped into it. None of them show the notch to clear the dipstick tube so I don't know how accurate the pictures are.
Wayne, is that notch around the oil dip stick a factory cut out? Or was it cut by the PO?
Ed, the parts drawings may not show the rib but I believe they all had it. Look at the various Owners Manuals in the Manuals Section, they all should have a photo or two of the engine that also shows the heat shield. They would be representative photos and not of each model. For example there isn't a photo of the 169 with it's larger muffler and heat shield.

Thanks guys but I was mainly concerned with the tin behind the heat shield. The heat shield is proper as far as I know but the tin over the head doesn't have head bolt access holes and I believe the 1x8/9 series had the access holes as well as the dip stick through the cam cover.
This 128 was produced in August, 1972 so it's one of the earlier 128s if I'm not mistaken. I also checked the kind codes to make sure the rear end was actually from a 128 and it was. What I don't know (among many other things) is whether the 1x8/9s were ever produced with this type of dipstick and tin over the head.
In other words,all of this is to actually find out if this engine could be proper. I don't know how to find out such a thing other than just asking. It is what it is and it will stay in this tractor.
