 If someone know which bearing Tracy use on prop shaft if yes
 what brand,ball or roller and
 bearing number



 Jean Prudhomme

 I don't have it here but I think it is a 1.3875" ID and
 the OD is 3.350". It is .75 inches wide. Double sealed.
 Inch series. Probably a Chevy Pick up truck rear wheel bearing.

 Search the internet for ball bearing makers and give
 them the dimensions.

 Do you know if is a roller trust bearing or ball trust bearing??

 When you have a chance could you send me the bearing number and brand

 Jean Prudhomme


 It is a ball bearing Jean. The Chevy Truck has a lot of
 side load on the rear wheel while cornering so it must be
 a combination of axial and radial load.

 I am getting ready to go to Germany
 so I may not get out to the hanger for a couple of weeks.
 Try to find it on your own. Start with an auto parts store.
 Just measure the bearing they bring out and if the dimensions
 are correct that is the right one.

 Ball bearings are ball bearings.

That's "hangar"..  Not "hanger".

..  Sorry Paul, I just had to poke the bear before you head off to Europe..  :)


Matt-

You know how those spelling checkers work. They cannot read your mind :)
