The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 1953 6400 Wheel bearing where to buy???

just bought a big bolt and doing the one over found driver side front bearing burned where could i find a set for under 100 dollars ???

I don't know about the $100. But, on my l946 two ton, I took out the original Hyatt bearings and then went on the internet and found a cross reference page to Timken bearing numbers. The local Adance Auto store was able to get me the comparable Timkens. I had to replace both inners and outers because the Timkens were not of the same "barrel" Hyatt design. This is a real challenge. Good luck.

Napa will have them.

Welcome to the Big bolt group.
NAPA had them for me about seven years ago.
They had to pull the old books out from under the counter to find them.

2-Ton

I wouldn't count on NAPA having them. I spent 2 hours with a very patient NAPA dealer in WA. They are very hard to find and he came through with the seals but not the bearings. I got my bearings from Chevs of the 40s, but it took a long time to get them in.

I Found Oriellys auto has them on order my question is can they be found for less than 160 a side inner and outer

Used ones can be had cheaper...
I have some 2 ton hubs, spindles, and brake parts listed in the parts for sale section.

I am assuming you are talking about the bearing with the shoulder on it for the seal to ride on. I found some on eBay a few years ago by Hyatt number. Other than that, you won't find any new ones cheap. Good used ones with today's grease will last a lifetime. In my opinion, that's the way to go.

You know it baffles me that they aren't available. You would think that there are enough of this rigs around to have enough demand. This comes up quite often. I guess to set up a run of bearings, they just have to make too many to make it profitable.

I have a 1955 Oliver tractor with pinion thrust bearings that are obsolete. I found two sets of used ones. One set I installed and I am putting the others on the shelf just in case. But that bearing was used up to the late 60s on other tractors at least. You would think that isn't THAT old not to be available under any brand.

In the shop I worked in a couple years ago they were repairing one of the lathes, a 16x30 Lodge & Shipley from the late 50's early 60's, same as the one I have at home now.. The Timken spindle bearings were made to order for several thousand $ and the lathe was out of commission for 4-6 months waiting for them..

I expect if you want a bearing bad enough you can have it made.

thanks for the help oriellys had them but it was over 300 dollars for the inners and outers the price you pay for safety in a old truck i will be soon posting some pics to the gallery soon

Abento was right,
Just looked it up online at NAPA and they have them, what ever you want, Races bearings and kits, inner and outer, front and rear. Link:
