Default Ebay wheel bearings

Has anybody bought from this guy? Are these correct for my 3/4" spindle 149? They give metric size, not fractional.

Maybe too good a deal to be true?
My crappy little MTD Cub Cadet cart goes through bearings pretty fast when I move firewood.

While the measurements seem close those are not the correct wheel bearings. The correct ones are fractional sized

This is what I think you are looking for. Pretty sure I got this info from Roland when I was a newbie on OCC. But I'm old and have a bad case of CRS.

20mm is 1mm too big, and they would not last very long, if you could get them in, but 47mm is 1.85". The width doesn't really matter, the wider the better. The ABEC3 rating is the only good thing about them, other than the price, but they will not work.

Thanks guys. My quick research showed them to be too good to be true and you all confirmed. I'll look into the ones Sam Mac posted.

Default wheel bearings

I have bought these before.. They are a good high quality bearing. Currently running them in a 70 with no issues. seem to be alot better than the crappy low speed bearings that most sell.

When I was looking at front bearings for my 147 project, I saw everything from $20 each on down to $1.50. At even $15 per, that's 60 bills just in front wheel bearings. I decided to be a test subject and went for the el cheapos. They turned out to be the Oregon packed brand and only time will tell just how long they will hold up. Should be interesting to see.

I bought these bearings also 1 year ago and they work great. No complaints. Before these the bearings I was using would last a month of cutting grass and fail. Don't buy cheap stamped bearings, Get the machined ones. Remember your tractor weighs 700 plus pounds.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
