I found a NOS SKF C1506 bearing that I would like to use for my 46 1/2 ton rear differential pinion bearing. The bearing number is 2F-C1506 and was made in Sweden. Any idea what the 2F prefix means?
Thanks,
Larry P

Do you have the original bearing on hand to compare with that one? I don't think I've ever seen a pinion bearing that's not tapered, unless it's being used behind the gear teeth, like on a Ford 9 inch, etc. Jerry

Yes. The original bearing was a Hyatt OR1506. The bearing sets right in front of the pinion gear. See attached pics (hope I attached them correctly). I believe it takes the radial load of the pinion gear. The 3.55 parts kits include a C1506 bearing for this that is made in China. I'm just trying to stay away from China bearings if at all possible.

Jerry, AD 3100's use a that 1506 roller bearing just forward of the pinion teeth, and a double roller bearing (that resists thrust in two directions) at the front of the pinion shaft.
