1958 MF-65 gearbox PTO output shaft bearing

I am in the middle of doing work on the MF-65 PTO output shaft and would like to replace the ball bearing just in front of the shaft seal. My one feels a bit loose and since I have everything out anyway, I would renew this bearing. I have just returned from the local MF dealer with most of the parts I need except this bearing.

Does anyone know the part number is or, more specifically, what the bearing designation is e.g. is it a 6206 2RS or what ever. The dealer did not have one and would order one in for me, but that would take about a week and would be about $50. If I can get the bearing number, then I should be able to get it at our local bearing supply house (BC Bearings)for bout half tht price.

I have drained and flushed the transmission using diesel. The inside of the gear housing now looks new. The seal I have is a little different to the one I will be replacing - doesn't have the metal shroud or the extra leather wiper ring. Parts came apart easily, but the cover (1/8" thick) plate is almost rusted through. Am renewing the four studs, nuts, cover plate and two countersunks screws. Everything was/is badly corroded so new will be better.

If anyone has the bearing number I would really appreciate getting it.

Thanks in advance.

My parts book for UK built MF 65 says 195 498 M1, as Chuck says.
The equivalent bearing number for this is:
6009 NR The NR indicates the ring.

Hope this helps.

Measurements and data for the 6009 bearing is:

45 mm inner dia.
75 mm outer dia.
16 mm width.
max speed = 11000 rpm in oil
max speed = 9000 rpm in grease
max static load = 12200 N
max dynamic load = 21200 N
weight of bearing = 0.25 kg.

After posting the above message I went down to the shop, answered my own question and took the bearing off of the shaft. I was surprised that the bearing was loose fit on the collar and one of the snaprings (outer one) looks like it should be 1/8" thick. The one I took off was about 2/3 of that. So, it looks like the person who was in the transmission last, either didn't care or used what he had on hand.

I got a number off of the bearing and it is XM45 SG
on outer race, XM45 on inner race, made by F.B.C. made in UK. The approximate dimensions are:
1.771" I.D.
2.954" O.D.
0.630" Thickness.
It is a deep groove, single row, ball bearing, open both sides.
I say approximate - the bearing was quite loose on the shaft, so I don't really know if it is the correct one or the closest one to the correct one! This tractor is a '58 so it has probably had a lot of people working on it, not all of 'em good.

The above is the information I have managed to get. If someone out there has more info, then please post it.

HTH someone else.
