Great thread guys.

I must have missed where you said you cut that with a jigsaw. Nice Work! I assumed you used a plasma cutter.

I’ve been doing some reading on crank bearings. What is the difference between a 6202 bearing and a 6202 c3 vg104. From what I’ve been able to find they are the same. What’s yalls opinions/thoughts on these

Crank bearings must be C3 rated which are a deep groove bearing. If you go with nachi or skf brand c3's you'll be safe. Don't worry about the ZZ or 2nse suffix because that's the seal designation and you won't be needing those anyway.


At least this is how I've come to understand it.... I'm sure some bearing guru/ expert will be along to correct me..

I bought some NACHI 6202 open c3 for the 372 build.

They'll work just fine. I try to buy in large quantities and look for the best deal regardless of seal type or no seal at all for that matter. Takes two seconds to remove them. Just something to keep in mind for the future.

I can get these locally from a parts house. I get em for 9$ each. That was last two NACHI he had till he orders more. He also carries skf explorers. I wanted to try the nachis in this saw.

 

[Mkinslow]

I was wondering that about the seals

 

[beaglebriar]

Here's a great deal on SKF bearings. If you go to check out and choose USPS the shipping price is cut in half.. I already bought 20 of them.[emoji1]

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/262897438579

So the difference is one bearing has a seal and the other doesn’t?

Some have metal,some rubber. They all come out easy enough. Just have to be careful.

I gave up on skf. I tore down a locked up 2014 372 xtorq. Skf explorer bearings were shot. Not sure if it was the 50-1 oil mix or what. But it soured my opinion of them.

Ebay nachi bearings are about $4-5 so that's all I'm using for now.

I like these NOS ones. Metal cages,not plastic.... they're in my high strung 371 so far so good.

I don't remember if the nachis have the metal retainer or not, but the skf explorers were plastic. Pros and cons to each. Metal may be tougher, but when a piece breaks off, it's a bit more destructive. So I guess I don't have a preference there, just as long as it's a good bearing

The c3 designation is for deep grove right or I’m I thinking wrong

The nachis I got are all metal. Some of his bearings are older stock

I've only seen nachi with the metal cage.
