<p>Fafnir was an old-line bearing company; I encountered lots of

near 50 years ago.</p>

The name/numbers are “fafnir” “207krr”. As I understand it
Fafnir(which I have never heard of of before) is now Timken and
that number seemed available at several online outlets but only
NAPA could get it locally. We used to have a Bearings
Distributors locally but they closed up. We have a Graingers
locally but the web site said they don’t have it.

</div>
<div>If I need something for haymaking that is almost always
right, quality, and in stock I go to Messicks but they ain’t
cheap and then there is the shipping delay and costs. Plus I
haven’t lost time if the one at NAPA isn’t right. The bearing
at Messicks can still ship out tomorrow.<br>

<p>Spencer, I don't want to brag, but I think I have one
or 2 of those in my bearing stash. Back in the 90's
when Bailey's had a lot of cheap bearings I ordered
about $2000 worth of bearings to have in case something
broke. Now the problem is just finding them.... <br>

49$; and while Messicks is $45 and there would be
shipping and a delay. <br>

This model was manufactured from 1968-1972. Judging
by the paint it is original equipment, so I guess 47
to 51 years of service is acceptable :-)<o:p></o:p></p>
