NP247 input bearing cross-reference
Looking for an input bearing in Kyrgyzstan. Can't find one. I've found 33010 AJ in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The bearing shop there is saying that it's not ideal for a transfer case and that I should get an OEM bearing. Hah...really not happening in Kyrgyzstan/Kazakhstan. I found a couple used transfer cases which cost about $400 each (and are from gasoline models) and include only a 17mm tall bearing vs the 24mm bearing on the diesel models. Any thoughts? Is the original bearing really some super-special metal? I'm thinking I'll just use the bearing until I can get a proper rebuild kit from Europe. Am I being an idiot and risking the entire case or is it a good plan?
