1925-27 Dodge front axle bearing & seal

[StanleyRegister]

What are you 1925-27 folks using for a front outer bearing cone? It was Timken 1751, but they seem impossible to find. I called Timken, and the person said that it's not obsolete, and they would make some (6 months from now) if somebody ordered them. But if I call Timken distributors, they either tell me it's obsolete or say that it cross-references as a throwout bearing. Anyone have any success replacing one of these lately?

And, what would you use for the felt grease seal? The only # I've been able to find is 5M0123, and I haven't found that in any stores yet.

Thanks,

fixed me up immediately from stock, bearings and seals, at a nice price. Highly recommended.

I didn't learn what might be used after his stock runs out, but will probably not be putting enough miles on to wear out these ones.

P.S. I have to confess that it's not an entire '27 Dodge - see Stanley Register Online - #6850
