[AT] Spam> bearing cross-reference

[charliehill]

John, I couldn't think of the name when you first posted but if you call 
Motion Industries, they should have a store in your area somewhere, they can 
cross reference any bearing or seal ever manufactured as far as I know.  The 
thing is that some bearings, particularly from folks like IH, OMC, JD, Mack, 
etc. that are propietary and you can only get them from the dealer.

Back in my trucking days the International road tractors had Fuller 
transmissions just like in a KW or Peterbuilt.  Well at least they looked 
and worked the same but when you tore one down all of the bearings were 
different, IH dealer only and about 3 times or more as expensive.  IH 
claimed they improved them over the Fuller design.  I kind of doubt that.  I 
suspect it was clearly profit motivated.
