Hi All

Over the years they topic of where to find bearings and seals have come up with quite regularly on MLU. But regularity (as we all know) is good. Our MLU community is so far flung that what is one man's easy source is another's dream.

That we keep asking the questions and answering these questions is good because it keeps bring out new potential sources and it also gives us a an idea of what a fair price should be.

My contribution to this information exchange is shown on http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/H...0a%20wheel.htm which as you scowl down gives a list of all the bearings and seals for the front hub my C60S and the costs. The one thing that is missing which I will fix is the date I bought them. My favorite bearing and seal source is Motion Industries www.motionindustries.com that though they claim to be world wide I understand this is not always true.

Best of luck to anybody working on a CMP keep up the good work.

Cheers Phil

Cheers Phil.
When I first said to myself " ok, wheel bearings" I thought I may be up for about $120, I had no idea they were that dear.

Geez Phil that was a close shave with Beauty, I shudder to think of the front wheel falling off at 50 MPH. It got me wondering about those lock washers, are they available new?

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Tony

After that near lose of a wheel because of the lock or key washer failure we had a lengthy thread on MLU on the topic Help Need - Front Axle Keeper Washers which listed who had them at that time.

Failure of this keeper is most problematic on the left side of the truck as the normal rotation of the wheel is trying to loosen the left side. Which means I've added removing the nut cover during the spring greasing, brake adjustment scheduled maintenance.

Cheers Phil

It was good to catch up Tony and I'll have to get off my arse and book some accomodation for corowa before it's too late.

Also thought I would remind you to send in your entry for Corowa. This goes to others as well if you haven't entered. Only another 28 days to do so.
