Wheel Bearings

[John.Newbury]

Before I remove the rumbling front wheel bearings from my 1956 NH (full width hub) does anyone know the equivalent SKF or similar sealed bearing reference for a replacement? I have a number of bearings acquired in recent years and even the actual dimensions would enable me to identify/obtain the bearings before I start. Any help would be much appreciated.

These bearings are the same as used as main bearings in the singles, dimensions of 1" * 2.25" * 5/8".
In my parts list they are shown as 1440-30, and I have the following manufacturer/model numbers:

R&M LJ1
Hoffman LS10
SKF RLS8

If anyone has more up to date identifiers, or those from other manufacturers, please add these to this thread

Brilliant! Thanks Pete just what I wanted.

Drags sell these as sealed bearing so you no longer have to worry about putting the grease in...oh, and they are cheap as chips!
