I am in the process of restoring Dad"s old VAC. I bought a salvage rear end and tranny for the gears that I need. I would hate to reuse the old bearings. Is there a middle ground other than Case prices if I can find the part? Can I convert over to Timken numbers and get them from the bearing place? Want all new bearings and races in there. Thank you.

I got all of the bearings and seals, with the exception of the outer (I think) axle bearings, which were NLA from Timken. The local bearing and shaft wholesaler was able to cross those to a Toyo # and get them for 25% of what the Case/IH store price. The double-lipped seal on the front tranny mainshaft won't directly cross to CR or National. Use a pair of either CR12456 or CR11800 there.

Fireman John, Yes, you can readily convert seals and bearings. One thing you have to remember that the old seals were leather and usually dried out which has caused major damage to the shafts. They usually leave an 1/8" groove where the old seal met the shaft. Could use a speedy sleeve but they are very expensive. They were approx. 1/2" thick. New replacement seals are 1/4" thick. This is what I do is I always buy two to replace the old one. I turn one one direction and the other the other direction. This does help by doing this. The seal meets the shaft at a different location than the previous wear location. Not going to say it totally stops it from leaking but it does make a difference. If you have a case parts book it will give the Timken bearing number. It only gives the vt number for the seals which are Chicago rawhide seals. Beware where you order your bearings. Be sure and get a secondary quote before you order. I found from one vendor when I was ordering bearings for my vas they were going to charge me additional $175.00 for same bearings that I could get from another vendor. Good luck and if you need any help I would see what I could do help. Jim Y.

I usually try to take the bearings over to a bearing place near me and we cross it to something newer. Somewhere on VT there is a also list of bearing and seal cross overs listed.
