Good point, Tommy. But speaking of boneyard HO72's .... Do I assume correctly that its the same bearing regardless of the gear ratio?

So ... Grabbing a used HO72 (or 52 for that matter) just for a spare pinion bearing might not be a bad idea ... ?? Better a used one with some life left in it than none at all ...

Not a sermon, just a thought ...
