Ball or Roller Bearing

I need your advice. I just received my bearings for my 450 diesel axels today. I see that the dealer ordered me the original ball bearing for the inner bearing, but my tractor has the roller bearings in it. Should I return the ball bearings for roller, or should the ball bearings be fine? This tractor will be used as a regular farm tractor, plowing, planting and picking.
Thanks
 
D282,

Either the ball or roller bearings will work but the roller bearings are stronger and were part of an "Improvement Package" issued by IH for dealer installation.

I agree with Harold.
Roller bearings have line contact, Ball bearings have patch contact. Probably 60% more radial load capacity. Jim
