OEM bearings are good quality, but also have shelf rent factored in too. Bearing houses can cross the numbers or measure your bearings and get a brand name/quality replacement cheaper. They also can get import bearings much cheaper. But you get what you pay for.
Are you working this tractor hard in tillage applications or "playing with it"? If you are doing light work, non-OEM will work for the life of the tractor.
I have a MF 52, 10' disc harrow I'm rebuilding. The gang bearings ( 8 ) are $65-$82/ea. I found import bearings (KML) from http://www.thebigbearingstore.com/index.html for $12/ea. $102 shipped for ( 8 ) bearings. No brainer since I'm using it for pasture leveling and food plots. It's light work compared to what it did 40 years ago.
If you are computer savvy, you can GOOGLE the parts and find a cross reference number. That is how I found my disc bearings.
