NOS Bearing.
- Thread starter 67-Fury
- Start date
if any of the rollers or the internal race has any rust on it, it is probably junk as rust causes pitting.

If you don't have parts books that go that far back you might be able to look it up by the Timken number on the bearing.
X2 on the rust, a little goes a long way, and it wouldn't be worth the risk of having to tear a differential back apart to risk using a rusty bearing, and having it fail shortly after it was installed. Bottom line, if it has any rust on it, other than the cage, it's scrap.

Pinion bearing for an 8 3/4 rear with a 1 3/4" stem. Fits a bunch of cars from the early 50's to 1972. Fits a bunch of Fords too.

But, as everyone said, it's not usable and you can buy new ones all day for less than $20. Leave it on the shelf in the cool old box.

I can remember when a bearing like that would be coated in cosomoline and or wrapped in a cosomoline waxed paper... Question, about what time did that end?
When I saved old bearings that's what I did, shot of cosomoline, wrap with paper, back into the box, marked used.

That's actually a very good point... If that was a true NOS, it would be wrapped and oiled.
That's why I say NOS parts are a crap shoot.
So can one get cosmoline anywhere these days in say a home kit?

I use to get the Chesterton variety from the supplier where I found my replacement chain lube (Lubritech) when the Bargain Motorcycle store started only selling the new HiTech stupid stuff. Wire rope (steel cable) lube for cranes in a spray can, same stuff as the chain lube.

The brown paper is usually a rust preventative wrap. It can only do so much though.
