Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
Does anyone have an actual model # or Timken number for a rear wheel bearing?

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
I was told by the local Timken franchise that they do not make a bearing for the rear wheel of a Model A. Wayne

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
I seen to recall someone listing it here just a few weeks ago. I wonder if a search would turn it up?

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
Yes I saw the thread where I believe Mike posted some PDFs, great info. I saw some other numbers, but unless I missed it I did not see any Timken info, so my apologies for asking again, but I didn't know if there was a specific Timken number for the rear wheel bearing for a Model A 28-31? I am seeing lots of things searching online, but not 100% sure what is correct. Thanks.

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
I thought the number was mentioned in the recent thread about the rear wheel bearing that went bad, but that thread is already back on page 6. I went through it twice and didn't find the number.
Our local bearing and seal store is good for these things, but I just called Paul and he didn't know the number and said it was too old for him to look up. |

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
Unless your in a big rush, why not just order bearing from Snyders or choice of parts suppliers. Snyders is in Springfield.

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
Because if I can get it through Napa I can get it much cheaper, that's the only reason.

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
It is a Hyatt number not Timken. I have been looking for the Hyatt number used in the 30's and 40's as I often find NORS bearings at local auctions. Rod

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
If NAPA can get the bearing, then I'd think they can look it up. I just tried a Google search for the number and still haven't had any luck either. My original bearings have always been good, so I haven't had to buy a replacement. I just looked in two catalogs and didn't realize the bearings were so expensive, at $42 each. That's why it's so expensive to rebuild rear ends with all new bearings.

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
Ok so Timken did not or does not make a rear wheel bearing for the Model A's?

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
Copied this from ?? a while ago: J-662456 Federal Mogul BCA is the correct size for the Model A rear hub straight roller bearing.

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
You should be able to order from an industrial distributor.

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
The J-662456 rear wheel bearings mentioned above are on Ebay for about $28.00 with no picture of same.
About (7) years ago I noticed that I had a pitted rear wheel bearing race. I had a new hardened sleeve installed on same. Then, I ordered a Model A rear wheel bearing from a very popular Model A parts supplier; however, the rollers were smooth with no spiral recessed grooves like originals. Old bearing looked fine, so I reinstalled the old bearing with spiral grooves. Have no idea if "all" new rear wheel bearings have spiral grooves or not. Last edited by H. L.

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
Has anyone had any luck on buying the grease seal for the rear wheels at any local stores?

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
It might cost a few bucks more but you can buy the entire package at Snyders. Sometimes all the running around does not justify the small amount of money saved. Wayne

Re: Model A Rear Wheel Bearing
The spiral rollers were made for a specific purpose, and grease was a distant second. These are shock-absorbing roller bearings. When the wheel hit a pothole or other obstruction, instead of a high contact stress seen at the rollers, the spiral roller elongates (it is a spring) thus reducing the stress. Modern bearings are solid because it is just less expensive to make them that way. But with better roads, perhaps it is a wash. The shock absorbing roller bearing is another quality feature of Model A's.
