One advantage to $835, is you are almost positive you have the right ones to begin with.
Making several trips back to the parts guy whose cross reference book is mis-printed, or whose eyes drop a line going across the page gets old quickly.
This...of course....is always after you have tried to install the
"close but not quite" bearing and this usually negates any ability to return for credit so you end paying double even though "No one" is to blame...
If you are lucky enough to have access to the old bearing and it is still complete enough to get a number off of you find B's look like 3's, etc. and having a parts book is helpful, but through all the part number changes since the tractor was built, you are back to hoping the books that hold the new & improved part numbers were printed correctly.
Bearings, bushings, gears, and any machined parts have doubled in price the past few years, and like gas prices I am sure they won't drop any time soon. So I say if you made one trip, got everything you need & they are the right parts the first time........you are money ahead.
There are cheaper makes of bearings out there, but you have to ask yourself, how soon do you want to be back in there replacing them ??
The originals have lasted this long, how long will the overseas replacements last, I am sure they will perform quite well in parades and light duty, but when you begin to stress them with heavy work.......how long are they going to last? You tend to get what you pay for.
