    No idea.. what does it say on the bearing or package?

    Looks like Browning is made in Mexico. Seal Master and Dodge are USA made.

    Ace Hardware - $10.55. None in stock. Box says "Product may be from Korea, Poland, China, Taiwan, Malaysia or OTHER countries". I went there because I've occassionally found top quality GMN bearings in packages.. but most of what I find is China.

    Shucks - SKF - $15.95, Made in Argentina - only one in stock, just shields with no seals.

    Carquest - NTN - $16.95, Made in Japan, rubber seals (I wanted rubber seals ON metal shields). No-name rubber, Made in China -$3.95


    Oh well it was Sunday...

    To the web..

    Ebay: I can buy 10 for less than $20 - China.. junk...

    Grainger has the exact bearing I need (electric motor quality) for $10.85, in stock at my local warehouse...


    NOT ONE of these was made in the USA, but I'll trust SKF or NTN no matter where it was made.



    I picked up my Grainger NTN bearings.. made in Taiwan...


    Oh well, not Made in China..

    Speaking of bearings...I just recently purchased a higher end clutch for my f150 and it came with a chinese throwout bearing. I have a hard time going through all that work and installing a bearing that says made in china on it. I think i'm just going to pick up another non chinese bearing, if I can find one.

    Sometimes when Im chasing down bearings a good place to looks is the local John Deere dealer. Ive gotten several USA bearings from them with just a bearing number. Just a FYI...
