With all this talk of axle bearings and seals, does anyone have civilian part #'s for the 5 ton Rockwell bearings and seals?

thanks

Good luck with this thread - I sure could use these numbers too. Unfortunately I've never come up with squat.

Timken #596 outer bearing, Timken #593a inner bearing(or cone), Timken #592a cup in and out. The seals I just orderd from memphis $10.28 outer,$35.55 inner.Be careful when pulling the hubs to not drag the race accross the axle nut threads,I use a couple wraps of duct tape. also the hub is about 100# so have a place to set it down.This task would be better with a soldier "B". Go and buy a box of low lint disposable rags,You will need them!

This is real helpful. These bearings all the same for all 5 ton trucks? Mine is 1953 m139 bridge truck IHC

Has the military gone to a two piece inner oil seal like on commercial trucks yet. I would like to have the gear oil cool the bearings. My friend is helping me replace the inner seals. It seems silly to have just grease in the hubs.

Those bearing numbers should be the same for the M39 and M800 series trucks. Just did my front axle and the best price I found for the bearings was thru the local Peterbilt dealer route man. Got the seals and silicone boots from A1 Army surplus.

I have ordered the original 5 ton seals, I am looking for the civilian/commercial gear oil seal that will work in these axles.
