Farmall M Bearings

Does anyone know of a source for rear end bearings for a Farmall M, other than the local CaseIH Dealer? I'm not having any luck finding anything on the web. I want to replace the rear inner axle bearings (ST-223) and need to replace the Bull Pinion Gear/Shaft Bearing? (L-260).
 
I"m not sure about getting factory ones from another source, however you probably can take the bearings out and get Timken bearings from a NAPA store or a local auto parts store. Good luck!
 
I got my outers from Bearings Inc in Elkhorn/Oak Creek, WI for about half price. ONLY $110 :roll: I am sure they will ship to you if you can't find them locally. Any bearing retailer can cross the number and get you one. Even John Deere should be able to get you the bearing.
 
IH used "off the shelf" metric (yes! Metric!) bearings when they designed these tractors. The trick is to convert what you measure on your bearings into millimeters.

Looking through my records from when I went through one of my Super M's, the inner axle is is a 214W. It's the same as on a regular M. The "W" means it has the maximum number of balls; the outer axle bearing is just 214 with a shield on one side. I upgraded the outer bearing on mine with a 214WD which is a max ball with shields. I just popped one of the shields out and good to go.

I'm showing that I used a 213W for the bull pinions, but I'm not 100% sure that it's the same on an M but would bet money that it is. If you have yours apart measure to be sure. Mine in millimeters measured 65 X 120 X 23.

I got some bearings from ebatmus.com and most from A&W bearing in Dallas and they were good to work with. Once you have the numbers you can check ebay too. The ones from China are downright cheap but used domestic ones in mine.
