OEM FACTORY WESTERN SALT SPREADER BEARING PART NUMBER 68662 (no hardware included, we have another listing with ss hardware included as well, for only a few bucks more! email for item number or view our other items for sale if you want the one with the heavy duty stainless steel, bolts, washers and lock nuts, thanks.)
Listing is for ONE bearing assembly, if you need more then one select the correct quantity.
These
are the best quality cast iron/steel bearings you will find anywhere, period. Do not buy the super cheap made ones, a lot of the poor quality ones have many flaws,
including not properly greasing the internals of the bearing, some are
even sold with NON greasable bearing inserts inside the greasable
housings! Mine are properly aligned for proper internal greasing and
have holes for the grease to go in and out of as well as having a
large groove for the grease to travel though on the housing. The
housings are coated with heavy duty paint all around, even on the mating
surface for additional protection and we use the highest quality
bearing inserts.

These bearings are not typically pressed in from top to bottom, BUT instead inserted in a swivel formation due to the beveled edge of the bearing insert, it is normal to see the bearing slightly off axis in the housing upon receiving this item, and is no cause for alarm, they are designed to be self centering upon installation. We received a few emails in regards to this over the years so I thought I would explain, as people have no clue how these are manufactured and when they see it off axis they panic, once again it is normal, and designed this way on purpose, not only to allow for the insertion of the bearing, but also for self adjustment upon installation, all these 4 bolt flange bearings and housings have this design.
