Farmall Cub

i would like to have a spare set to rebuild one spindle to keep in my cub parts box, just to have them. i ordered them at the dealer but the more i think about it $50+ is probably too much to pay. can you get these bearings at napa. is their a timkin part number? what about seals? is their a seal part number?

That should answer your questions.

they are common trailer bearings

See if you can find the IH numbers in here, usually you can cross reference the numbers to Timken pretty easily.

I already did that in the parts book Rudi referenced. The pdf is annotated with Timken and CR part numbers for bearings and seals and Dayco numbers for belts.

Oops! Thanks Bob.

I just took a look at C-3 section in the RC-1A Rotary Cutters. The only "annotation" I see is for a belt on the Lo-Boy. It's in a little yellow balloon. I don't see anything for the bearings. I don't need the numbers, I found them a long time ago by looking at the IH site parts manuals for the IH part number and then doing a NAPA interchange search.

So did my download not take? Are the annotations missing? Can I not see the forest for the trees?

You are correct. Dennis must have an earlier revision done before I rebuilt my C-3 and had to buy all those parts. I'll extract a page or send him a new file to update. My revision number is now 16.4, so it is always being updated and Rudi must have a later version or he would not have known about it. If anyone want my notes, I can email them the pages for the time being.
Spindle housing seal CR 12437
Bearing cup L44610 Timken
Bearing L44643 Timken
Bottom spacer 474 153 R1 new part number: G35361 The bottom seal rides on this and they can get frozen to the shaft.
Belts, B53 and B54 have been used for the 2 deck belts
BP-112 is the main drive belt for both Lo-Boy and Standard IH uses the same part number for both applications: 487 046 R1


I was not in a hurry when I did my job and got a great deal on bearings- 6 for $15 on eBay. Seals came from Rock Auto.

BE SURE TO FILL THE SPINDLE FULL OF GREASE WHEN YOU REASSEMBLE--
PUT IN NEW SEALS--TOP SEAL HOLDS GREASE IN DIRT OUT---BOTTOM SEAL
HOLDS DIRT OUT BUT LETS GREASE OUT---ON FINAL ASSEMBLE YOU SHOULD
HAVE .005 TO .007 PLAY IN BEARINGS---LAST THING TO DO IS PUMP GREASE
IN SPINDLE TILL IT COMES OUT THE BOTTOM SEAL----
-------BE CARE FULL WHICH WAY YOU PUT BOTTOM SEAL IN------
