430c Transmission Bearings

Post by 430c/440ic » Wed Dec 29, 2010 6:04 pm

I've got my 1960 430c 4 speed out and completely apart. I have had pretty good luck rounding up most of the bearings, but I can't cross reference 3 of the bearing numbers: JD7938T, JD7939T, and JD8124T. I've been told that these are "captured" numbers. Does anyone know a replacement for these or are they Mother Deere only? Any help is greatly appreciated, John.

I put one of your numbers into JDParts and it came up as no longer available.
Your best option is to find a company that sells bearings locally and have them mic them out and order replacements for them.
I have a local company I buy my bearings from, they always check to see if the bearing are the correct ones when they come in.

All 3 are current from Deere. The caged roller bearings you will probably never find a sub for, at least I never have.

I went to a second bearing company with the old bearings and dims. from jdparts.com. With a bit of searching they were able to find the 3 bearings I needed (cheaper than Deere). Lavoy, when they come in I'll get you the aftermarket brand and numbers if you want. I'm keeping a list of the brands and part numbers for future reference if anyone else needs it. John.
