Compact jr axle bearing

[Bruce Thomas]

This post is for someone having trouble with the forum and starting a thread...and their question is does anyone know the original part number for the bearing on a 71 compact jr....they have to pick it up in Mexico and it's sitting with a seized bearing and wanna bring the correct part at least...Thankyou

The correct bearing for my 1973 Compact II is:

L44649

The brand is SKF


I hope that is some help. I don't know if the same one fits an early Compact Jr.

The seal I use is marked: GS-1500DL

If the bearing is seized and the spindle on the axle is damaged a new axle would be necessary.

My 72 had L44643 bearings (2 different manufacturers, same number). Napa's replacement with BR14. NAPA's replacement seal was 12165. Be prepared to change the race. I decided to change1 hub. It was only $30.00 or $35.00 for the complete kit (hub with race installed, bearings and grease cap at the local trailer supply company.
I hope all goes well.
