[Fot] info needed re Southwick Moser axles

[DAVE HOGYE]

Glen,
I should have kept the FoT in the thread.  Important stuff.
I noticed this the first time I changed bearings.  If I remember correctly, Timken, which I prefer, had a smaller radius and it didn't seat all the way.  It was seating down in the radius of the bearing.  Of course I didn't think to check that radius before installing it.  Green and Timken obviously have a different radius.  I believe Southwick and Moser use the Green bearings.  There may be different part numbers from these companies for different dimensions for the radius.  I think the basic number is 9507.   So, there might be a Timken with the needed radius.  The Green number is 9507F or RW507E.
