    M35A2 Low gear issue

    In my experience both, NSK and NTN make 1st class bearings, in Japan. (Koyo, I'm not so sure....) And when it comes to tapered roller bearings, they are usually half the price of the US-made Timkens and do last the same... (And we do avoid the Chinese/Brazilian/etc. Timkens, even if they are...
