Throwout bearing for a Cat 22

j,

I just picked up a throwout bearing for my 15 through these people-http://www.locateballbearings.com/. They ended up sending the order twice so now we're working on that problem. I had taken the old parts I found in the bottom of the case to Kaman and they were not much help. Someone here on the forum was able to provide the New Departure number which I gave to Locatebearings and bingo, they came through. The case has to be machined slightly but otherwise I'm in business. Hope this helps- Jan

[quote="j_henry7"]I have searched the forum and had no luck finding much about a throwout bearing for my J model 22. Has anyone replaced theirs and if so, where did they get the bearing? Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,

John, have you tried your CAT dealer? I replaced mine recently. I thought it was from CAT, but will try to check my records tomorrow.

I see that this bearing (4B3665) is listed at http://www.joseph.com/Parts_list.asp?Brand=Caterpillar&Class=Bearings+-+Auto+Trans

This bearing is still available from Cat. I think it was around $45.00.

correct... i purchased mine a couple months ago for 45+tax from cat... they had it in stock

Wow, thanks everyone! I have a good Case IH dealer close by and they can get any fafnir bearing. I will take that part number to them. I see some of you recommended a local CAT dealer. Last time I asked for something on my 1937 22 they acted like I was nuts. " we cant get anything for something that old" they said. Thanks for all the replies I will try to post some pics of the restoration as I go. This forum is AWESOME!
