Hi all,
I have a 1949 23rd series Custom 8. Does anyone out there have a brand name and part # for a rear wheel bearing replacement for this car. I know that Merritt and Kanter have them available, but I prefer to buy local if possible.
Thanks,
Mike

HI Mike; If can get the info for you tomorrow. If you have the bearing out it should have a number that any bearing supply can cross reference for you. Dell

Hey guys,
I pulled the axle out a while ago. Oddly enough the numbers on the bearing cone and cup match the numbers Dallas gave me. the brand of this bearing pair is "Bower", and the cone is 26878 and the cup is 26830.

Thanks for the help!!
Mike

Not odd at all, lots of universality of numbering between various ball and roller bearing manufacturers. Generally Fafnir, MRC, SKF, CJB (Ahlberg), Norma, New Departure, Federal, BCA and others would use the same last digits, sometimes inserting their own single digit or a letter as a prefix.
