AC 5020 4WD front end bearing part numbers needed....

[montejw]

Do you have a parts catalog? Can you give me the part numbers for the bearings in the front end with 105 balls, the seals for those bearings, and the seals/bearings on top of the axle housing?

I'm looking for those parts at salvage sites and they need the part numbers.

Thanks,
Monte

Just curious, wonder why bearings failed (were front tires loaded)?

I'm not totally sure. I've read of other 5020's doing this. On mine one bearing race fell apart on one side. On the other side the races were loose in the axle housing. Part of what might have been a problem on mine is one of the thrust bearings on top of the axle housing was mostly a piece of rust and allowed some side to side movement.

They didn't just fail, it's a long slow process it looks like to me.
