1209 reel bearings - where to get?

[Alan K]

I noticed one of the 4 roller ball bearings on the end of the reel is bad. Where is a good place to get them or is that something you can only get at John Deere?

A very quick search didn’t see it in the Shoup catalog. JD dealer probably best option if you don’t know the bearing number.

If you search using the number given in link in TSK’s reply they are shown by Shoup for more than $10 less.

The number AE74534 has a note in the parts catalog that it is a sub for JD8646. There are even more hits if you use the JD8646 in a search. 203KRR3-P and 203KRR3-I industry standard bearing numbers for that JD bearing.

Here is a link to the online parts catalog so you can confirm we are looking at the right bearing. And if not, you can get the right part numbers to use in searches.

I have a well-used 1207 that I ran for ten years on 14-20 acres when the oem bearings went out on the right side. Got a set from a local bearing supplier, made you-know-where and they didn't make two seasons. Found another 1207 at an aucrion yard that had good roll so I got bearings from a dealer when I put them in. I had to torch the inner races off both times.
