RJ58 tran bearings

[chris11 184]

does anyone need any tran bearings?

Standard R12 open bearings... any bearing place, Ebay or Amazon... I find Ebay and Amazon to be the cheapest... they all originate from Cheena any-how. I even get the bushing from Ebay or Amazon too.

Do you have bearings for sale Chris?

I have a guy making them up 9.00 each min of 10, i just ordered some.

I got all my bearings (bronze and ball) from motion industries. they had everything to completely rebuild my trans for about $80. Even found the 3/8" thick ball bearings.

here an little tip for all the RJ58/59 guy's

The R12 bearings are a tight tolerance bearing they are not disigned to be use in all bearing positions in a RJ transmission as the RJ trans case's

are not pinned inalinement to each other that is why the 3/8" wide unground bearings are used as they have a large tolerance and can handle

the miss alinement in the 5003/5010 transmissions. you can get the unground bearings from mcmaster-carr for around $6.00 each the last time I checked

why I'm telling to this is if you are going to put a higher strain on the transmission (smaller pullys,bigger motor etc.)you may want to stay with the standard

bearings in there correct positions but if all your going to do with the tractor is ride around at a tractor show or pull a small wagon you can probably

get away with the R12's they just are not going to last as long as the unground bearings will

The unground bearings are the ones im getting. I may not run the tran on the hot rod one. maybe just a staight axle with chain drive to clutch
