Combines How to install a greaseable bearing IJ

[jacco]

someone's given you an aftermarket bearing. i've been told by bearing importers that the grease induction holes on their products are opposite domestics'.

Thanks Jacco but it came in a sealed plastic container from my Case IH dealer although they may be getting aftermarket bearings now.

If case IH changed bearing suppliers,they might also have changed the mounting flange_block to match the grease groove_hole in the new bearing. Have the parts guy check it out. I ran into the same problem with my GT grain dryer. I had to replace a bottom auger bearing and the new bearing had the lube hole on the opposite side. I was able to cobble it in there by installing the bearing in there upside down. after the harvest rush I will check with the dealer to see if the bearing block needs to be changed to correctly install this bearing. FWIW I have seen jobber bearings with lube hole_groove on either side and even one with dual lube grooves_holes to work either way.
