DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS, TR250, TR6
"TRF Stocks and Sells the Best Bearings by Name"
When I build expensive mechanical units, engines, gearboxes, differentials, or
whole sports cars for that matter, I always use the best components I can find.
Bearings are products on which I never like to skrimp, and I choose brand-name
bearings whenever I can. When it comes to diff building, and I built another one this
year for my TR3A, I generally use Timken bearings which are available for both pinion
bearings and for the diff carrier. Timken bearings are not available for the
inner axle shafts, and I use NTN or SKF for these. I feel just as strongly
about oil seals, and I always like Chicago Rawhide seals best, but they
are no longer available for all applications. We use them when we
can and supply the best we can otherwise. Chicago Rawhide is
the name of a seal company with a long reputation, but the
seals are not made any longer of rawhide. Regrettably, the
best bearings and seals are not also the least expensive,
but I don't like to sell bearings with no name made
