 I always thought Timken was simply a brand name of bearings like F.A.G.?
Can't preload a roller bearing the way the double ball bearings on the front

Loren   Hagar sez   Timken  Bearing  --- in industry all over the world is known as a
tapered roller bearing----- and a brand name.----Patent ran out before we were born.  ---
SKF  made a lot of better bearings later ----like spherical roller bearings.---The super
thing about timpkens --is that they are infinite adjustable.

Like a wedge.------SO  ?   learn about "PRELOAD"---it works and it is IMPORTANT.

Hagar.

PS ALL Timken's are used with a preload  --ATMU.   Quoting somebody on Fox right now ---
possession of  child porno is a violent crime ?   ..--where does stupidity end ?---Ido not
care about it ...---BUT where is the violence ?.
