The Ford Barn

Long-shot that it's an 'A' part, but it was with a box of Model A parts I acquired quite some time ago. Been sealed in wax since '51. Really could belong to ANYTHING, but I figure worth asking. I think the measurements are 1 3/32x 1 11/16 x 1 3/4.

Maybe a useful part number on bearing itself? Would require opening but you would have a visual ID plus possibly a usable part number as well. Just a thought.

Might be a good idea to open anyway. At this point the bearing could be like new or rusted and not worth saving, but you never know.

Many of the old bearing were packed in a waxed or greased type paper and more then likely are not sealed.

Impressive packaging to say the least. Wax-coated box--->wrapped in heavy wax paper--->another layer of heavy wax paper--->nicely greased. I'll grab a rag tomorrow and see if I can find a number.

It may or may not be for the transmission, the measurements sound about right.

I was thinking water pump. Ford was not the only one to used roller type bearings. If some one had a bearing catalog that listed by size from the era, they might be able to look it up. Or try googling that part number and see if you get any hits.
