Front spindle bearings labed IHC

Yooper Farmall · Feb 8, 2012

Last night I installed my freshly painted front cast iron centers and new rims. Dang, forgot my camera! Repacked the bearings and noticed they were stamped IHC. My understanding was the older Farmall parts such as gauges have IHC printed on them and the newer Farmalls are labled with IH. Would these bearings being stamped IHC be a pretty good indicator that they are original bearings?
Thanks

IH had the bearing plant in Chicago suburb called WP or West Pullman, it also was a fastener (bolts-nuts-etc) plant, cant tell you much about the place history but bearings & fasteners were marked as such.

When I replaced the front wheel bearings on my F300 the old ones were stamped IH, both inner & outer, the new ones from Case-IH they had the Timken p/n on them.

Yours are probably original, but if they were packed every so often, they should still be good. I would replace the felts for sure.
