Bearings and seals

Post by jdjock »

Where should I look for fan bearings for my 340/S and crank seal for my sportfire. Matt doesn’t show the brgs in the store and he is out of the common crank seal. Thanks for any info. Tom

The fan bearings are common metric bearings. You have 2 choices: Take the bearings or the dimensions to a bearing supply house and have them match them up. I suspect my Case/IH dealer could get them, but as they sell Yamaha, they might go through Parts Unlimited as well.

Or, contact Rainville, last I knew he had NOS.

As for the seals; looks like Manufacturers Supply has them. https://www.mfgsupply.com/garage/vehicl ... 40%252f22/

Thanks Matt. I ordered a couple from DK. Looks like he has 2 left in stock. I’ll check around Sioux Falls this week for the metric bearings. Thanks again all. Tom
