Morning All.
I am currently repairing a gear box for deutz DX 3.70 tractor. Can't find what I need locally and in South Africa. Have contacted a couple bearing houses in Virginia and California but not heard back from them.
1. DIN 005412 NU 209 EN
2. DIN 005412 RNU 211 EN-TN
Above numbers straight out of the tractor's parts book. Does the EN designations mean grooved?
Both are common as plain bearings but trouble is finding the ones with the groove on the outer race that retains the circlips.
SKF South Africa out of stock and last list price was $486 and $530 respectively. Waiting 8 weeks after payment.
Do you know of a reputable supply house in the Europe or US that would carry stock?
As normal NU 209 & NU 211 they about $25 ea.
Am I missing why so much more expensive and rare?
Last resort was thinking about cutting the groove myself. What groving tool would be best suited and insert? I assume ceramic. Have no experience with them. Someone on here was advertising ceramics and posted video of them turning bearing races. Impressive.
As always appreciate your advise and knowledge.
