[Farmall] Clutch throwout bearing

[Tractorman453657 at aol.com]

I have had a roller bearing ( TOB ) in my loader cub forover 6 years with  
no problems. I use the tractor every day to do heavy lifting in my shop. ( a 
lot  of clutching ) . Before I had a graphite replacement bearing that 
lasted  only a month. It was a case IH part. I since have been using roller  
bearings in all the cubs I restore. I Have installed 15 in the last 5 years and 
 have had  NO problems. ButT! I repack the bearing before I install  them.

If you  buy the C/Ih graphite bearing you will find it lasts better.  I 
have  tried the roller/ball bearing types, and also aftermarket graphite  
ones.  neither lasted more thna a few months.  The IH graphite  bearing 
comes prelubed with the graphite soaked with oil.  the after  market ones 
are dry and do not get any lube till it soaks through the  graphite form 
the rear.
