Oliver 550 Bearings

Author Message   Kerry Posted on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 7:40 pm:    Any suggestions as to where to find a set of transmission bearings for an Oliver 550 ... the part # is ES-5020? Thanks!   John Schwiebert Posted on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 9:15 pm:    Do you have the bearing manufactures numbers off the old bearings? After that a good bearing house should be able to fix you up.   Chris Losey (Admin) Posted on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 9:54 pm:    Kerry, This is the thrust bearing on the bull pinion shaft. As so many of us have found, they are no longer available. Your best bet is a pair from a salvage tractor. Try the following places: Maibach tractor at 800-808-9934 O'Brien County Implement at 800-320-6224 Famersville Equipment at 717-354-2150 If you do find a source for new ones, let us know, please!   Kerry Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 9:31 pm:    Per a reply on YTmag, I'm going to try http://www.ibtinc.com/brands/index.htm as they appear to carry the "Nice" brand bearings. I'm also checking with www.RBCBearings.com, which appears to be the manufacturer. I'll see what turns up!   John Schwiebert Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2004 - 5:24 pm:    I called my bearing supplier today and he said it was a good number.   Chris Losey (Admin) Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2004 - 10:42 pm:    I'll call mine and see what they say. When we restored our Super 55, we ended up getting used ones, as we couldn't track down any new ones. Maybe that has changed now.   Kerry Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2004 - 11:25 pm:    John, what's the name of your supplier?
