Does ANYONE have the National, skf (or ANY crossable #) for the bearing that rests between the hubs inside the front tricycle casting? I need a new one and the old one was destroyed!
------------- The problem with reading MLPANKEYS posts, is that they dont make boots that tall. |

If you are able to remove the bearing and seal without too much damage I would try a NAPA store. When rebuilding the front pedestal for my CA I was able to get the new bearing, race and upper and lower seals. Hope this will help you out! ------------- My tractor is not leaking oil, it's just marking it's territory! |

Don't forget our friends at Sandy Lake. They may well be able to be of assistance.
Good Luck!

The original bearing there was a Shafer with a rounded cup and rounded rollers. I think they call them a self centering bearing or something like that. That bearing is not available anymore, however there is a Timken number for a regular bearing that has the same dimentions but straight rollers and cup. I think the numbers are:
354A TIMKEN CUP 3.3464 OD .6875 WIDE
355 TIMKEN CONE 1.7500 BORE .8540 WIDE
I don't have the numbers here but they look right.

| Tom, the numbers you posted agree with the numbers posted by Joe M back in Sept of '01 so I would think they are correct. I stapled a copy of that old posting in my parts book for reference in case I ever need to replace that brng. This is why I love this site; a wealth of good information from guys who really like to help each other!! |

It bothered me that that brand "Shafer" seemed familiar to me, but I couldn't place it. I don't even have a clue how it gets used in the front bolster. But today I stumbled on this:  ... ad I remembered - aircraft spherical joints. This company still produces Shafer in its manufacturing divisions: http://aerospace.rexnord.com/Products/Shafer%20Roller%20Bearings/index.asp - http://aerospace.rexnord.com/Products/Shafer%20Roller%20Bearings/index.asp Look to the upper right and download the Shafer Catalog. I'm betting someone with a little time could cross or get an equivalent self-aligning bearing. |

Here are the original numbers on the Shafers: Cup - Shafer 33454 Cone - Shafer 33453 If they are available it would be good to find out. I have called a couple places and they can't get them, but I'm sure someone must have some new old stock out there. Thanks, Tom |

Next time I get on the phone with one of the FBOs at our airport, I'll ask them if they'd do a little legwork for me. I will send an e-mail out to rexnord & see if any intelligent lifeforms respond. |
