I just got off the phone with ASG. The bearings are $75 each:thumbdown:. When I receive them, I will measure and post the information here.

Hello Dana,

Have you been contacted by the folks at agrisupply about your bearing failure?

Leon, no contact. I had to place my order because the grass is getting out of hand. I will IM my order number.

This is pasted from the invoice. I have no idea if it is tariffed. The price may be high because the inner race is positional. Roller bearings may not work if tilting(?) Is needed.

That seems like more bearing than a fixed roller needs; the positional part I mean. A conventional bearing assembly should be all that is necessary. Replaced those in my Ford 917H a few weeks back at $51/per. That was through a NH dealer. If I could have read the actual bearing number, I'm sure I could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere.

Yikes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you do not need a bearing of this type AYYYYYYYY Caramba LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I would not use a two row axial loaded bearing like this NO WAY!!!

Can you flip the bearing over and send another picture of the back side
with the bearing assembly flat against the table?

The metric size identification numbers for the bearing are
ALWAYS supposed to be stamped into the outer race.


The only reason I can think of for using an axial loaded bearing with a
low ball count in this case is to compensate for bearing wear versus using
a heavy roller bearing or a standard caged two row ball bearing.

The bearing choice makes no sence because of the low speed and duty cycle and
the zero need for a bearing that would need to tolerate axial loading which a rear roller
would not create anyway as the loading is always supposed to be linear not axial.

Hi all,
I closely examined the bearing for any markings. What I found was not stamped but looks like etching. The marks are CF and 205.

I put a new battery in my Harbor Freight digital caliber and this is what I got.

Outer diameter is 52mm with a thickness of 18mm. I was not able to nail down the inside diameter as I was reading a different size on multiple tries. It varied from 24.66 to 24.85.

I measured shaft size of the support. It is 25mm. I was not able to slip the bearing on the support shaft by hand but I have a bit of peening from trying to beat the inner race off the shaft.

So lets call it 52x25x18mm.

Hello Dana,

What you have there is a self aligning 2 row ball bearing.

it is more bearing than what is needed for the application in this case.

 

[sunspot]

I believe you are correct. Now to see who can find a local sourced bearing that will be equal to the OEM. I looked some at McMaster-Carr and found one for $8 but with no skill in the application, I do not know if it will be a replacement past the size.

Hello Dana,

KAMAN Bearing has seven retail stores in Alabama.

These stores are located in Albany, Atlanta, Birmingham,
Huntsville, Lagrange, Muscle Shoals and Montgomery, Alabama.


To be on the safe side you should have the stubs machined to correct the damage
from using a hammer.

They can help you with this issue.
