[Leif Holmberg]

A friend of mine have bought a 1923 4cyl model 43 Oldsmobile,the car was in pices and the front wheel bearings are totaly missed.Anyone out there that have the inner and outer bearings numbers, Hyatt numbers or whatever type is it,there are proberly 3 different numbers on each inner and outer bearings.

Any ide where to buy for a fair price?

Thanks in advance Leif in Sweden

I he takes the measurement of the outside diameter of the spindle and the inside diameter of the hub (for both inner and outer bearing) and the width of the bearing, any competent bearing supply shop should be able to provide a suitable bearing. Of course if someone comes up with the correct numbers it is so much easier.

By the way I really enjoy your contributions to this forum.

I have found a listing for 1924 Oldsmobile wheel bearings. 909001 Outer and 909002 Inner.

To get the dimensions of these bearings go to this website and lookup Front Wheel Bearings Single Row on Page 3.

Thanks Tinindian.Thanks Commodore,but 1924 dosen`t seem to be the same type,I have seen those on E-bay too,if I remember right the diameter on the inner bearings total diam. on 1923 is 3,56" and that looks much bigger than 1924 years models,1924 front bearings can be used for a lot of later cars if looking at E-bay listed bearings.

I hope anyone with an Oldsmobile 1923 or even earlier will take a look if they have the bearings in a sked or garage and can tell the numbers.

Thanks in advance Leif in Sweden.

Thanks for your help Marv.I will send the message to my friend and see if he can go further with this,when I googled on 909006 it seems to be able to buy,but maybe 909005 will be harder,couldn`t find any?

Thanks from Leif in Sweden.

The MoToR specification list for 1923 lists the Oldsmobile 43-A inner & outer hub front axle bearings as ND-6. ND, I'm sure means New Departure. No idea if the "6" means anything.

Graig,it looks a little bit strange with the same numbers for both inner and outer bearings.

I'm just telling you as it is written. I think it may refer to the complete bearing, inner, outer, etc.
