[AT] Was Serious Restoration Now philosophy

[Easley, Greg]

It was the wrong bearing, stamped with the right part number.
I've purchased 11 bearings for this project, which have been a
roughly equal mix of Timken and KOYO.  In this small sampling
I'd have to call the QC between the two a draw.  One of the
Timken bearings was almost as rough-turning as the 57 year old
original that it was to replace.  I exchanged that one too.

Must have been the wrong bearing in the box. I asked because Koyo has
recently become the world's second largest taper roller manufacturer,
second only to Timken. They also are now producing bearings that
actually exceed Timken's quality standard's and I have one customer who
now uses Koyo exclusively in their steel rolling mills and they are
experiencing 50%
(minimum) greater service life. I 'd much rather sell the Timken's since
they are made a half hour away from here but the Japanese have outdone
themselves here. Mark
