Stihl ms441 bearings question!

[Paul Silvestri]

Does anyone know if there is a SKF number for the crank bearings on the 441? Or is aftermarket or OEM the only choice? Thanks!

Usually the ipl will say "Bearing, blah blah blah, 6202" or something like that if they're common sizes. Based on what I see, the fw side may be a 6202 but the pto side is proprietary. You might pm @gary courtney and see who offered him the pto side 4278 bearing for his 440 as that appears to be the p/n for the one the 441 uses.

I tried a 4278 bearing and after seating the lip up against the oil pump it stuck out to far into the case halve in my opinion. My 4275 came in today and I just installed it and it did not have the lip that the 4278 had. It was fitted like it was suppose to be.

And that number would work for flywheel side I presume?

It is as @Woodslasher said. Propietary. The 4278 bearing is correct.

6202-2Z C3 SKF Bearing 15x35x11 (mm) both will use the same numbers

$9.89 each on ebay ford3240 is the man's name. Bought a couple dozen from him and he ships lightning speed

 

[Paul Silvestri]

Stihl 9523 003 4275 for the pto side has to be ordered from Stihl. 6202 c3 is the flywheel side and can be bought at any bearing supply or the name I gave you for ebay is your best bet

Perfect, thank you for this! The 441 will live again!

 

[gary courtney]

I am sorry. I have another conversation going with another man. The 4278 is the pto side for a 441

 

[gary courtney]

Perfect, thank you for this! The 441 will live again!

I have pm'd you
