If you are careful about removing the donor bearings, and they check out, like captaink says, they should be okay. A bearing on a shaft should be removed by driving the inner race off the shaft. A bearing in a retainer or a case should be removed by driving the outer race out of the housing. You want to be careful not to bruise the balls or races.

I spent about $500 to do the same job on my H, but that may have included a clutch too. At the time, I was down on the local dealer and used aftermarket bearings. The pilot bearing was on it's way out after just a few weeks, so I would suggest that one be a genuine IH bearing. Also, put a magnet in the bottom of the gear case to collect any metal chips that did not get flushed out.
