On a d2 steering clutch there a throw out bearing that I'm replacing. In the shop book it says it should say thrust on the bearing to tell which way it goes. Will a regular bearing work?

No, it is made to take side thrust.

Not for long, and considering the effort to change them It's not worth the risk. It should be interchangeable with a 72xx series bearing. Ask your bearing supplier for an angular contact bearing.

I've replaced those bearings in early D2 and D4 and they are not sealed, they need to be that way so the oil you squirt in the oil cups up top can enter them through the drop tubes, later model tractors went for grease lines and zerks to lube those thrust bearings.

My installation was a grease version. I packed the bearings thoroughly with grease and then pumped them up while it was open to make sure it was thoroughly set up.

Ok I didn't think of that . That's why the old bearing froze up because they were closed up and couldn't get the oil in there and they were regular bearing not thrust bearing. Thank u for ur help I want to get it ready for a plow day.

I remember them having a sheet metal shield with an assembly arrangement in the cage that allows the oil in and blocks the dust. While you have it apart, throughly clean & paint inside the housing to keep the contamination away from all the moving parts.
