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 wa=
y.  It was seating down in the radius of the bearing.  Of course I didn't t=
hink to check that radius before installing it.  Green and Timken obviously=
 have a different radius.  I believe Southwick and Moser use the Green bear=
ings.  There may be different part numbers from these companies for differe=
nt dimensions for the radius.  I think the basic number is 9507.   So, ther=
e might be a Timken with the needed radius.  The Green number is 9507F or R=
W507E. =20
=20

          You might contact Moser. They supply Southwick.&nbsp;

          I purchased a set of axles from Southwick and they were very diff=

          I found the radius on bearings, depending upon Green or Timken, d=
