Jerico Front Bearing

Bobby Fazio · 02-21-2017, 04:26 PM

Does anyone know off hand if the Jerico front bearing, which measures 90mm outter, 40mm inner, and 23mm width, has SKF6308 NRJEM stamping on it? The one I pulled out of the spare trans I bought actually has SKF BBF-2308NRVBFS and needs to be replaced but Jerico assembly diagram calls for 6308NM - which seems very close to the SKF6308 NRJEM. I can get this fairly easily and quickly so it's the only reason I ask. Wondering if someone threw this other bearing in before selling.

Bobby…We've run up against this also. What we have learned is the Jobber Bearing has less Radial Load characteristics. The Jerico ball count is different internally (more). The Jerico Bearing is Proprietary and design specific, although the jobber is dimensionally correct it is inferior. MB.
