Wheel Bearing for Rj Part Numbers?

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,527]

I was finally able to get my front spindles driven out of my 55 rj front wheels after soaking them for 4 days with PB. Does anyone know of a part number and or source for replaciing the inner and outer wheel bearings for the 55 Rj ?? thanks-

Any help on this?

The bearings I picked up for other wheels (not RJ) are Stens #215-046 which is the replacement for Toro #110513. 3/4" ID and I believe 1 1/8" OD. They are not the bronze bushings.

John,

Do they have the flange on them? I think they are sealed on one end but I need to check.

[wallfish 18,072]

Yup. they just tap right in.

Thanks John. I just purchased them on ebay...

Update 1 3/8" OD on the bearings. They can also be purchased here link

Or you can get them at tractor supply, right there in the nut-bolt aisle.

I use JD sealed wheel bearings on my resto tractors, that way I don't have to grease them, no messy grease to clean off the wheels, they are machined steel bearings not the stamped ones, cost more, about $10 each, but worth it to me, they are very nice and smooth to boot. I can get you the part no. if interested, I checked the price of them at Detriot ball they wanted a buck more each and had to order them, I bought them at the JD store.

I wouldn't use the cheapo bearings at TSC, they didn't last more than a month on the C-160 between mowing and garden work this year.

Thanks guys but i already bought the $6.00 specials made by stens on line. If I put 1/4 mile on this tractor over the next 5 years that will be a lot.

I found the wheel bearings at motion industries (used to be called berry bearing) I also purchased the bushings for the rear axle, and the bearings for the cross shaft and the seal for the gear case all from same place

Macmaster carr has the bearings for mine. (except the wheel bearings)
