Default Bearing sources.

Not sure if you have General Bearing Services shop on the West coast or find an industrial bearing supplier......

Take careful precise measurements in metric both inside and outside as well as depth....... ask them to do a search by size....... they should come up with a bunch of different suppliers/makers. The part number on the bearings MAY be useful but do not rely on them.

You should also look for the replacement seal for the front axle...... surprisingly still stock item used in todays industry..... again measurements are essential...... although in this case of the old Chicago rawhide seals the numbers may still be useful and they will be made with Neoprene. If you find NOS seal with leather be careful..... some are so dried up as to be useless..... and in any event leather seals need to be soaked in motor oil for a few days before installing.

If you run into major problems let us know we may be able to source from Ottawa.

Cheers

Good luck
