Default

you can also take them apart and replace the bearing balls and re-pack with grease.Just check the race to see if it is still serviceable.

Default Another source.....

...be on the look out for delapidated CMP rolling frames or spare axles...... they are usually the last part to go... heavy combersome no one wants them..... drag them home or offer a few bucks to take them apart on the spot..... at $200 a bearing that makes a front axle worth $800.... you can afford to take a few apart for possible salvageable components. One of my quest was to find a replacement R-Zeppa U-joint for my C15a cab 11....... after 6 or 7 axles I found the parts I so stubbornly needed and lots of other spares to boot including some good bearings..... not to mention a good supply of the hard to find shims for the same bearing adjustment.

Cheers

Default CMP Pivot bearings

Thanks Guys: It turns out that Grant Hopkins in Sannich BC about 100 mi. south of me has bought all of Gary Mooney's CMPs and parts and is able to supply me with new bearings in box along with bridge plate, pass brackets and co-driver hand hold. He is in the middle of moving and sorting and recording an enormous pile so replies may take a while
