Deuce broken down on roadside-Napa part numer?

[Flyingvan911]

We are broken down on the Northbound side of US-69 in Kansas north of Fort Scott and south of Louisburg. The front outer wheel bearing has fragged. Can't find a Napa part number. Is there one? Searched and couldn't find one. We are trying to get one before any nearby store closes. Thanks. Does anyone nearby have a bearing?

Thanks, I just found that thread myself. We need #392. Everywhere seems to be closed on a Sunday night. Thanks, Doghead.

so far, NO napa sore in the kc metro area sticks ANY of thos part #, not even the warehous. I just checked, am still looking though.

I can send one out tomorrow if it would help. You could chain up a rear axle housing and pull the axle out, then use it's bearings on the front. At least you could get to a safe place that way.

adn no napa near the place has them in stock. the outer beaing isint in stock in any close oriley auto part either. Cant chec the car quest, but show knows, might get lucky. Worse comes to it, swipe bearings out of the rear and put tehm in he front and i come down with trailer and elmo to haul it here to the depot and repair it later.
looks like a set of bearings in the "tool box" is going to be in the future.....i thought we had his fronts apartnot too long ago and cleaned and repacked them?oh wel, youcnt read this right now any how, what am i thinkin? I shouldjust call you because by the tie you read this you will be home already.

Update... A parts store in Fort Scott said they have the correct bearing, based on the part number. Allan and Stagg are going to pick it up now. I hope it really is the right one. I'll keep everyone posted.

DANG ! That sucks ! I guess you were heading back from D-Day, and sorry I didn't make it, but when my rear axle starting leaking on the A3, I wasn't about to chance tearing up a 700.00/800.00 bearing set ! Picked up some overtime to cover the seals on Friday, and was already working the weekend !

Anxious to hear an update on your situation, Jay

The parts store had the parts and they got going ok. They had a little hassle getting the race off of the spindle but everything else went smoothly concidering the circumstanses. Biggest thing is, everyone is safe.

Yup, we're back on the road.

I am home now and Stagg is headed back west to Ft. Riley with his. Carquest in Ft. Scott had both the inner and outer bearings so we managed to get everything fixed up good as new.

I'll post up some pics in a while, still unloading now.

Yep, I need to pickup that spare outer bearing. After reading similiar threads to this one I keep a spare bearing, nuts, and lock washers in the truck.

We have a trailer on 900 x 20s and the rear suspension looks just like a deuce, torque rods, pivot, basic spring pack and all. Would anybody happen to know if they use the same bearings? If so, I need to gut that thing! Thanks, G

Just a heads up all the bearings from Carquest I have seen were Chinese crap that didn't last very long.

Glad you made it home. I am new at this deuce thingie. Does this seem to be a common occurence? If so I better get me a set and keep with em along with proper tools.

best and easiest way to carry spare bearings is to pack them with grease, put them in your wifes vacuum seal bags and suck all the air out, it will actually puch the grease furhter intot he bearing doing so. p[lus it keeps it dry, clean and ready to be used. just vacuum seal it, toss it in the tool box and your ready for when ever you do need it. works good for cv joins and other parts you dont want getting wet or all gunky when storing them.

These ones were Timken bearings, I am sure they will be fine.
