0 Sean N Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Richard, the inner is 1 1/2" x 3 3/8" x 7/8" x 0.209" equiv. SKF 1.131089/9 and the outer is 13/16" x 2 7/16" x 0.829" x 0.591" equiv. SKF 1.131122/3 Changing them is straightforward, they're Timken type so same procedure as with any Timken wheel bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 gwrightoy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 That's great help both....thanks. Did you get the wheel bearings ok? Is there a modern day number for the inner and outer bearings? My local bearing supplier did not recognize those numbers but he thought if he seen the bearings then he could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chrisg Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 They are skf numbers and the first number for the reference is the letter I not a number As far as I can remember there was no Timken equivalent chris Richard, the inner is 1 1/2" x 3 3/8" x 7/8" x 0.209" equiv. SKF 1.131089/9 and the outer is 13/16" x 2 7/16" x 0.829" x 0.591" equiv. SKF 1.131122/3 Changing them is straightforward, they're Timken type so same procedure as with any Timken wheel bearing.

0 Richard Farrant Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 They are skf numbers and the first number for the reference is the letter I not a number As far as I can remember there was no Timken equivalent chris Hi Chris, I have a wartime dated War Office data book of bearings on all vehicles in British service. I have found the two SKF numbers although I think Sean may have got a number incorrect on one it should read I/131098 / 131099 (I have underlined where the error was). There are Timken equivalents listed for these numbers; SKF I/131098 / 131099 > Timken 337S / 0332US SKF I/131122 / 131123 > Timken 248X / 244X I have been down this path for MW wheel bearings before, but cannot recollect where I eventually found them. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
