Spindle Thrust Bearing 51 8N

Got my new bearings from Yesterday's Tractors and trying to get it running again by tomorrow. Which way do the spindle thrust bearings go in, that is, which side is up towards the top of the steering arm?? These bearings have "outer bearing cages" that are stepped with one side slightly smaller than the other. I was thinking the smaller side goes up to allow for more of a grease pocket on top of the bearing. That is the side with the face where the part numbers are stamped on it. Is that correct??

Thanks....
 
Well, "tomorrow" has come and gone. Sorry about that.
I don't remember the step in them when I replaced mine,
so I am no help there either. The bushings were my concern.
If you figured it out please let us all know so we can pass it on.
