No idea, but.....I don't think there is much of any axial thrust on these bearings. I could be wrong. Have been before.

 

There is if there's a clutch on the PTO side

As it happens I got in a k161 today.

Both bearings had the shields and.........the shield faced inside the block.

Now I’ve seen them both ways.

these are going to be replaced.

When I rebuilt my 7 HP, I did reuse the old bearings. I don't have a press, and I have never been a fan of hammering on new bearings. I could have taken it to a shop, but that's 40 miles one way, and probably a 2 or 3 day wait. That means 2 trips. Reuse old bearings, or hammer on new ones with a punch. Theres the real ?.

:confusion-confused:           If you put your new bearings in the freezer overnight they will shrink just a little and go in better.

WHX??

Any idea on the spec or year Richmond? What kind of shape are the bearings in? 

I got two 161s open now, both off 701s. Will see what they have and report back 

Note the verbage  in the manual Richard.... IF using. I may be thinking too much like Ed's attorney. :)

I had always thought  ther was a drain or weep hole on outside of the bearing back to the case to get oil through the bearing or am I wrong?
