I have Timken, SealMaster & McMaster-Carr
catalogs. I don't know what brand McMaster Carr is using but a four bolt flange bearing for a 1&3/8ths axle is $32.49 The SealMaster bearings are even higher at about 50.00 per bearing through Motion Industries here in Indpls. Can anyone else tell me what is a good name bearing, & how much should I expect to pay.
Thanks Howard

NTN is also a good mfg to consider.

Well I ended up buying Browning Bearings they are made buy Seal Master or they are both made buy the same company in USA. NTN's are made overseas and were only 4 dollars cheaper per bearing so I figured I'd go with the Brownings, they should be more readily available With a Warehouse in Kentucky thats not too far from Indpls. Fafnir & Torrington were recently bought out by Timken.
