[Farmall] Clutch throwout bearing

[E. John Puckett]

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.
