FWIW, I think we are talking at crossed purposes. This thread is about the roller bearings in the gearbox. It seems to me that you are talking about the rear wheel bearings.

Looks like a Chinese one to me by the price.
I'd do my own research on that ...

Absolutely, definitely,positively 100% NO WAY these are anything but made in china (KOBE brand) or Baltzer chinese made , i can't fathom, get it /understand WHY ALL of the FORD spare parts " vendors" DON'T ALL approach BOWER/RBC to start making them in THE USA again?!!!!!!.SURELY there's enough of them (FORD spare parts vendors) , that if all grouped together could afford to get these remade?......, beggars belief sigh :(.

No i'm talking about the wound journal roller bearings,BUT the OP'S thread isn't about the transmission but rather the CWP front or rear bearings,
Which are a combination/mixture of wound journal roller &sleeve &tapered roller bearings.IF the problem's in the prop/tail shaft then it's a wound journal roller bearing or ball bearing &housing SOME Ford's used a wound journal roller bearing in a rubber housing.
 
What model/year Ford is yours Rob?,
Are you talking about the CWP (crown wheel pinion) front or rear bearings?,
These are TIMKEN tapered roller type that fit/sit inside a double cup,&the cones fit/sit inside this cup either end,or is it a wound journal roller bearing type?,
FORD used a combination/mix of both in the pinion &differential.
 
iN POST #19 I am speaking about transmission bearings A-7118 and A-7121.


THESE ARE HYATT BEARINGS (SPIRAL WOUND TYPE).

They are stamped as BOTH "Hyatt" and Bower.

These were made by Hyatt and others. Maybe someone knows which companies made them for Ford besides Hyatt.

The defective Rear wheel bearings mentioned above are well known as defective and that is another story.

Many of the OEM rear wheel bearings Ford supplied were spiral wound Hyatt bearings as far as I know.

I have seen wheel bearings AND transmission bearings made by Hyatt.

Problem is the guys selling the junk will have their lawyers sue you for ruining their business.
