gps Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 i replaced my rear axle a short time ago for a better one, the walking beams were worn on the bronze bushes the outerbush and the inner bush .because of the wear the beams lent inwards and when the beams moved up they would hit the leaf springs breaking the straps . I would like to replace the bushes befor i loose the momentum and then refit it to no nuts but i am a bit stuck, if i take it all apart it may be some time befor i can make the parts,so i was wondering if any one else has done one? if not dose any one know the sizes and what bronze they should be. yours humbly gps :bow::bow::bow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 are you ready there is a lot and from what i have been told they are B----Y expensive if you can get them. front axel ball bearing -bevel pinion MT7/1960 (Hoffmann N1090) roller bearing-bevelpinion MT7/2974 oil seal MT1/PT335212 bearing worm shaft type LV6/MT7/1979 (Hoffmann No 580 CDS) bearing worm shaft type LV6/MT7/2017 (Hoffmann No R380L) Right, had another look......... first bearing MT7/1960....conflicting info here as that number does not match in the army Vocab for MT7, to the Hoffman number you quote, although it does in the Scammell book MT7/2974 Pollard R360A Hoffman R360L Oil seal MT7/PT335212........and in the Scammell book another number, 33523750. This is a Pioneer oil seal and any bearing man worth his salt will recognise this as the number breaks down in to the od, id and width The best thing to confirm these bearings is to read the details off the old bearing This is the best I can come up with.

gps Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 thank you Richard for your help :-D i will now have to ring around to see who has some and find out the prices:shake:. hope i can afford them:??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisg Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 As richard stated you realy need to look at the old bearings to get the correct numbers. From the information so far MT7/1960 45mm ID x 120mm OD x 29mm width Skefko 7409 Hoffman 545ACD where did you get Hoffman N1090 Cant find any imformation on N1090 Bearing 7409 is avaliable MT7/2974 same as Pioneer t/transporter R&M MRJA60 roller journal 60 x 130 x 31 mm is avaliable LV6/MT7/2017 (Hoffmann No R380L) is available LV6/MT7/1979 (Hoffmann No 580 CDS) no information yet PM sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gps Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 the bearing is for the front axle the number is from the scammell 6x6 parts book, ball bearing bevel pinion the number is in a collum marked M.T. or Proprietary part No. (MT7/1960) and then underneath it says Hoffmann N1090 .i hope this helps:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 the bearing is for the front axle the number is from the scammell 6x6 parts book, ball bearing bevel pinion the number is in a collum marked M.T. or Proprietary part No. (MT7/1960) and then underneath it says Hoffmann N1090 .i hope this helps:-D Got it, they are a pair of bearings! I think the pair are given Hoffmann no. N1090, The MT7 Vocab lists as follows; MT7/1960 45 x 120 x 29 mm Hoffmann 545ACD ( or Skefko 7409 ) single row ball brg. then below with a NATO no. 3110-99-950-0618 we have this; 45 x 120 x 58 mm "two single row bearings, matched and apired back to back" with Hoffmann no. N1090 ( also Ransome & Marles 3/HJT45 ), the 58mm width being two bearings together. Makes sense now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisg Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) That would explain it Hoffman "n" numbers & R & M prefix numbers are specials Almost certainly made to closer tolerances than standard production Edited February 17, 2009 by Chrisg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gps Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 tell you the truth my head is spinning bearings are so complicated :confused: my mate said he was verey lucky to get his, but he did not write down the numbers of the new ones ,as he hopes he will never have to do it again. also he likes the forum as every one tries to help. sadly his computer is broken but he now has enthusiasm to get it fixed an join in on the dialogue:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
