so ive been calling around to part stores and no one can seem to find a cross reference for the bearings i need

they are:

Russia
VBF
6204C3

and:

Korea
KBC
6205

any ideas where else to look??anyone?? and what would be a good brand to look for?

 

Have you called any bearing shop/makers like Timken?

 

These bearings are everywhere!! 6204 and 6205 is the universal number! Check Napa,Auto zone,O'reilly's, Pep Boys,etc.http://www.ebay.com/itm/6204-Bearing-20x47x14-Open-Ball-Bearings-/360437940749?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ebc6820d http://www.hyperparts.com/wc.dll?ctw...~00043~Polaris Plus this place has em.
Told ya that there would be some Russian bearings in it!

 

finally starting to find them, have to leave out the russia and vbf stuff out and just ask for 6204 and 6205 for them to figure it out...smh..
anyways, the parts stores are all about OEM price..but i found another site and even called, guy said SKF bearings were the best, they are cheaper but tnot the cheapest on the site...what do u guys think? Over 200 million bearings to search from

and i couldnt find my bearing on hyper parts..

 

wooow, last call i made the place has em in stock a cpl mins from my house each bearing under $10 yaay

 

Almost all the bearing manufacturers are pretty good,Skf,***,Nsk,Timken,Koyo,Mrc,etc. If any place only has the RS (raised shielded) bearing,get it and pop the plastic or metal sides off. ANY bearing you get will be 10 times better than the Russian bearings I had to replace that Polaris started putting in some of their transmissions. I don't see how any of their cars,tanks,etc could even run if they have the same crappy quality of bearings in their own machines! On Hyper Parts you have to type in the Polaris part number and you'll get their replacement bearing. My on this one,the Japanese (NSK) make some of the best bearings still.

 

so heres the bearings i bought



made in slovakia(good or bad?)

the supplier said they are a lot better than the OEM becuase they are made for high rpm electric motors...he said the OEMs are considered low rpm bearings?

and they are sealed at the moment, i can just pop off the seals and have an open bearing correct?...supplier said i could when i asked...said itd be just fine??... ty!

 

 

Just pop the plastic shield off each side and then you'll have a plain 6205 bearing that can be lubed by the transmission fluid. Bearings are made all over the world now. Slovakian bearings have got to be better than the Russian bearings...

 

update! received my parts this morning from CPW(they say 7-14 day shipping, ordered 3 days ago! wow) so i took a trip to a friendly shop that let me press bearings n seals free of charge...no more clickity clack, all is good...ill be putting some miles on r tomorrow to be sure
