[AT] Spam> bearing cross-reference

[charliehill]

John they've done it for me before on tractor bearings and also bearings out 
of the drive unit of an OMC stern drive on a boat I used to have and other 
stuff going back over the years when they were Dixie Bearing.  They pretty 
much have any kind of bearing covered.  They might not be able to get it for 
you but unless something has changed they can cross reference it just fine.
