Series 3 Gear Box bearing part numbers

Hi Again,
Well when I got my transmission apart it wasn't a II or IIA, but a very early III transmission. My truck according to my local Bangkok parts dealer tells me it might have been one of the earliest heavy duty upgrades for 1969 and might explain the curious "D" at the end of my VIN number.

I found a bearing house here that sells Timken, SKF, Fag and others. Does anyone have the Timken, SKF or FAG or British numbers on the 12 or so bearings in my gear box and transfer case? Seal numbers would be helpful too. I can buy them business to business here and will not have to pay the markup if I buy through Land Rover Bangkok. I have found some of them.

Thanks

what number is stamped on the transfer gearbox, that will tell you the suffix letter to identifty it correctly,

im in process ok taking mine apart over next week, i will see waht i can pick up,

you can measure the inside diameter and outside diameter of bearings , from this you can look at bearing suppliers on their standard imperial bearings charts(can be found on net)

some sites may even mention bearing numbers alongside LR part numbers

same goes for seals

Timken skf fag torrington snr all put the numbers on the end of the bearing, if you strip it you should find them etched on the bearing, in rare circumstances the number wears off, in which case you can type the bearing by looking at the others in the box, they are usually the same series bearings, 6000 series, mj series etc, and also by measuring the sizes and looking at the skf bearing selector book which I think is on line now.
Never taken a series box apart, however its good practice to put the bearings back with the numbers pointing the same way (if the bearing only has a number printed on one side), angular contact bearings if fitted to the series box only take thrust load in the direction of the number printed on the bearing.
A bit confusing I know.

Right then, your in luck today mate

Just read the thread again and realise ive just posted all that for a 2A...Oh well!, serves me right for not reading proper!!.

Good feedback, thank you all. I will keep the 2A info also, as I look to do some more restoration work! It is getting less mystical as the hours pass. Great forum!

PM for ya IHMS... Bill

A good mixture of stuff mainly metric.
The suffix c2 and c3 is not normally written on the bearing, c1 to c3 is the tightness of the bearing on the shaft, c1 being the slackest.
