I need some ideas on how to order bearings to fit this baler online.. I know the number of the bearings that New Idea used but haven't been able to find any was to reference online bearing supplies to the numbers that New Idea or AGCO uses. Thanks [/b]

So do you have the part numbers from the parts book or the numbers right on the bearings?

Either way do a web search by the number and you should get some hits at aftermarket vendors selling them. Call the YT store, they may be able to cross them or get them through their parent company. Federal Mogul/National has a cross reference at https://drivcat.com/PartInterchange.aspx?. SKF cross reference is at htpp://www.skfpartsinfo.com/ . I don't know what you have for numbers but I was able to cross several bearings I found in the 484 parts book on line.

You will have to copy and search for the cross reference sites as when I link them my post is blocked by spam filters.

No more than we have had to change bearings on ours we just bit the bullet and got them at the dealer. IH and Agco will have them. Both about the same price too. There is a difference in price slightly so it is worth the pricing them and order what you need. They are a pricey bearing. I save the old ones that are still run able from when I change them. Since I have the roll out I normally change both bearings on it this gives me a spare for an emergency need on a Sunday and the bearing goes south.

Search the web on both the NH part numbers and the bearing numbers themselves. You'll get a lot of returns. I like lacateballbearings.com but NAPA, O'reilly or other
auto parts can order them too. A-Z is substituting chinese bearing a lot.

I liked my NI baler, but I found once I had to start replacing
bearings, I was never done replacing bearings. I dont know if
it because the replacement bearings were just not as good, or
if it was because the rollers were ever so slightly bent, but I
did suspect that metal fatigue was allowing the body of the
baler to flex ever so slightly once the chamber was full of hay.
And this caused stress on shafts and bearings. I thought my
baler should have been put together with a Zipper, cause we
had it apart so often.

The hex shaft bearings are 207KRRB17
The 40X80mm on the sprocket end of the driven shafts are an eccentric bore insert ball bearing SA208, FH208 or 208F depending on manufacturer.
www.qualitybearingsbeltsandchain.com is where I get the hex shaft bearings, I would imagine they have the others as well. Good prices and service. When I order I usually have them in under a week standard USPS shipping.

I keep three of the hex style and two of the 208's on the shelf since the first time I needed them and it was a two week lead time at the dealer. With that stock I can do both sides of an idler roller and a driven roller at the same time if need be. The day I use any, I reorder.
