And yes to everything else?
Somehow I managed to get my hands on an old Jred 625ii then before I knew it the jug was off and I was comitted to freshening up the bottom end with seals and a case gasket.
The OE bearings feel pretty decent as far as I can tell and are marked "SKF 6202-c3vg104 France"
SKF 6202/c3 bearings made in Argentina are $5 a piece... that's dirt cheap and theoretically should be a no brainer replace em while I'm in there....that being said
Is there any reason to believe a set of modern "SKF Argentina" bearings will be inferior to ones made in france 30+ years ago?
These france SKF's feel pretty good for SKF bearings...a brand I dismissed in the past as I personally like to use a Koyo bearing if I can because of Japans tight/generally pretty good quality standards compared to most crap these days, but for a saw application are the modern bearings these days good to go as long as theyre not Chinese?
