Here's a link to where I got mine. Been several months ago, but I think it was about the same price that Deere had. Keep in mind that the bearings need to be machined to size after being pressed into the housing.

It wasn't a cheap project by any means. I had my crank turned, and bought both thrust washers for the flywheel side, and the oil seals for both sides. Cost me about $500, and I got the machining done for nothing. Good luck with your project. Mike

If you get the Bronze Main Bearings, I would advise you to add an extra 1 to 2/1,000ths" to the bearing clearance..and watch the radius, to be sure it is as per the original..

How much bearing clearance do you measure on the original Mains..??
