I'm at my wits end... on this one. I need to replace the main pilot bearing in my transmission. I've called the dealers in my area and checked on the usual websites as well as a bearing supply house that said they could get any type bearing in the world. Well they coudn't get this one. The Ford New Holland part number is C5NN7133A and lists on Parts Spring.com for $287. But also says its unavailable! It is supposed to be used on a dozen or more models so I dont' know why it isn't available. If anyone knows of a replacement I will be eternally grateful and you will have good carma for the rest of your natural born days.. If I can get it to work I will attach a picture or two of the bearing.  |

How long for a dealer to get it from a warehouse?
I find it hard to believe it's not available at all... but not uncommon for it to not be on a dealer shelf.

The 4x4 manual reverser was the same as the 6x4 except that the extra forward gears were removed to make them more affordable.The bearing he is looking for is the same in both. |

I googled that part # but not much info there either.
You might have to look for a used one.
I would try Alexander's Tractor - in Texas somewhere. Google it. |

Messicks is trying to locate one for me but so far no luck. I gave Long Lane a call and they didn't have it either but were helpful with possible solutions. Still searching for a source for the bearing. Any help greatly appreciated. |

Kind of off the wall, but try another Ford dealer. I know you think the dealer network is all connected, but... I needed a battery hold-down for a 9700 once. It was on national back-order for six months from a dealer in NE Ohio. Tried another dealer about 50 miles south. They said, "It'll be here tomorrow". Same thing happened in the automotive line.Early in the 21st century, Ford had trouble with transmission housings on the trans that would replace the E4OD. Friend buys truck, blows the housing, dealer tells friend six week wait for updated housing. I call reputable dealer in Cleveland with the P/N, he says, "3 in Detroit. Can have one here by 10 A.M." Every now and then you encounter a dealer who does't seem to be connected to the rest of the world. |

I'll try some mid west dealers and see what I come up with. THanks for the suggestion. |

I went back to the internet and with some numbers that one dealer gave me I was able to locate a salvage bearing from Downing Tractor Parts in Wisconsin. So if all goes well I will put the thing back to gether next week. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and help.

Well I got the bearing today and it doesn't look anything like mine. Just a cage bearing. I'll go to the barn tomorrow and see if it is the same size but it looks too large to me. If its the same size I'll try it anyway. I don't know if there is any special need to have the exact type roller bearing that was installed but I like the parts I use as replacements to be like the ones I've removed. Oh well while I'm trying to find the bearing I might as well replace the clutch shaft and bearings as they are showing some wear and I'm already in here. It'll be a week before the parts get here so I'll post later to update my dilema. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO GET THIS BEARING I'M CONSIDERING A FINDERS FEE!!!!!!! AND I HAVE BEER>>>  |

Well no luck on this bearing. I have tried several dealers in the northeast/ midwest and here in Florida. The bearing house tracked it down to an SKF bearing that the 'line' was sold to RBC bearing back in the 70's but that's all the help they had other than buy a transmission. I'm considering using a stock replacement type bearing that closely matches the specs on the old one and haveing the main shaft machined to fit the OD of the replacement. I can't find a replacement front shaft either so I'm not thrilled about trying the machine work in case it gets messed up.
I have emails out to several salvage yards looking for a replacement trans but this 4x4 isn't common I guess and I'm sure it costs more than I can afford.
I'm now offering a finders fee of $100 if anyone can find this bearing. |
