i need an outer center bearing for the tandem on an 8T. mine is in the late stages of catastrophic failure. part # is 6B8150 but it doesnt look like cat makes it any more. id really like to have one in hand before i start tearing stuff apart. if yall know where i can get a bearing that will fit id appreciate it.
Hi, skipjack herring.
If you take that sketch and those part #s to a good bearing supplies mob, they should be able to cross reference it all and tell you what if any of it is available.
Failing that, you might be looking at finding a good used set. This 'fella' might be able to help:

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
6B8150 was replaced by 6D0749 which Cat shows a price of about $600 but says contact dealer for availability, so may not be available. Check eBay there is a listing for two 6D0749 new Cat $250 ea. Or Machinerytrader.com shows a few sources
Hi Brian, I wanted to see if the ebay listing gave dimensions but when I searched for 6D0549, it lists a spring for $25? How did you run your search?
Neil I posted wrong number it is 6D0749, which I corrected in original post. No dimensions, but a clear picture and a cat box. Has part numbers but no obvious manufactures name.
Lots of interchange numbers.....
