Gear hub question

[ccf460]

Anyone know the timken bearing numbers for the gear hubs? I have a couple of gear hubs that look suspect, and figured I might as well rebuild all 4 during the chassis build.

The part number is in the TM and on the bearing...

 

[ccf460]

Is the TM # something a local bearing distributor can use?

 

[Retiredwarhorses]

Ok...your pullin my leg...right?

parts are available at Napa or any auto parts store...

there is also an app for Timken and they list them in it. I dont have the app now but its free and the info IS in there.

I have been meaning to post back on this topic, actually wasn't sure if it was desired info.
Upper/input bearings for the small gear are timken LM104949 $7.55
Lower/ouput bearings for the large gear:
smaller of the 2- timken 3780 $18.79
larger of the 2- timken 3490 $23.79

For a total of $57.68 in bearings to rebuild a gear hub add a $25 seal kit and you are looking at well under $100 a gear hub for a rebuild. It really makes that guy on ebay selling the kit for $250 look like a tool.

ETA: These prices are from rockauto.com

Kind of a separate question. Are the gear hub steering covers the same regardless of position?

 

[jeremymx26]

No there are 2 different ones.

I would recommend reading the TMs. There is a lot of useful information and answers to most questions.

please advise the source on those bearing at that price....I buy them monthly for the shop, I have never been able to find them at that price, timkin especially brings a premium, the majority of bearings, National, SKF are Chinese, Japan or Mexico, they are cheaper, still not at those prices...and remember, you are supposed to do the bearing and cone at the same time, allot of these numbers are Bearing only.

I posted at the bottom....these prices are timken bearings from www.rockauto.com
Yes, those are just the bearings. I did just knock out one of the cups/outer races for the upper/input bearings
Bearing LM104949 uses cup LM104911, it is $4.29

 

[ccf460]

Okay, here is a total with all bearings and cups (i just drove out the other 2 cups)
Bearing LM104949 $7.55 x 2 = $15.10
Bearing 3780 $18.79
Bearing 3490 $23Cup 3720 $8.46.79
Cup LM104911 $4.29 x 2 = $8.58
Cup 3420 $13.51

Grand total for all bearings and cups = $88.23 plus $9.27 shipping = $97.50
Add a $30 seal kit and you are at $127.50

Still less than half of that ebay guy, and he isn't giving you the $30.55 in cups

ETA: If I am reading it right, they are selling/quoting Timken bearings.

My blind ole a** didn't see that....very good, I have bought from rock auto before, great prices, a lot of what they get is out of stock, overstock...which is fine to me...thanks for the post.

Glad to contribute. I am sure that i will learn way more from you than the other way around. Am i on the best site for hmmwv stuff? I have always been here for CUCV and Deuce stuff, but it seems the hmmwv forum is a bit light. Or did i just buy into a small crowd..lol

Ccf460 there is www.humvee.net which is excellent for both the civi and military model truck.

Thanks, guy for all the info it's just what I needed also but what about the seals? I have only one bad wheel seal but like you figure what the heck might as well get them all done while I'm at it. Thanks for any info you may have on the seals and part numbers?
