Putting a new feeder chain in my CR 9070. Has over 1100 threshing hours so it needs the top sprockets replaced. Going to replace top shaft bearings as well. Heavy bearing, double row ball bearing. Much to my amazement skf Japanese made bearing but 300 dollars. I said pardon! Went to my favourite local bearing shop and he could get the skf bearing but there is none to be had. So he checks another supplier, German made bearing ***(actual name not being intolerant). He can get me this bearing for 58.92, I almost fell over. How the f#^k does CNH justify selling a bearing I can get for 60 dollars for 300? Some days I am surprised my blood pressure isn't throught the roof! On the plus side on my old CR 960 the top shaft bearings were made in China!
