Notice the beveled sides of the bearing. These might have been used over many models over many years.

you need to buy a whole bearing with the races from your local bearing house. not just the needle rollers

should be numbers on side of bearing

I never said cage. however bearing houses do not just sell the rollers. they sell the rollers and the shell that is pressed into the housing.

Thank you. Im rolling the dice that someone might have them in a jar in their parts stash, or maybe an old motor behind the barn
