Output shaft bearing replacement

[Booyah the monkey]

I have a 79 Scout 2 345 with 727. I am rebuilding the transmission and I need to replace the output bearing. I saw the one for sale on IHOnly north but its out of my price range. I found 2 different bearings on ebay but it has these listed as the transfer case bearings. This is where I am confused. Are they calling these bearings transfer case bearings because they are part of the extension housing or are they actually bearings for the t case. The bearing I need to replace has no numbers on it but looks alot like the bearings listed for Scout 2s on ebay listed as transfer case bearings. Does anybody know the numbers to these bearings or had to replace this bearing? I have attached a pic of my bearing and 1 of the bearings on ebay.

Okay, I think I found the answer. It looks like the bearing is mrc 307m. These can be found in ebay for 7.00+ and up. I'm still waiting for mine to come in to make sure its the right one.

Don't forget about the two seals. yes I did say two. You sure you wanna take a chance with e-gay? IHPA kit comes with both seals and the bearing. Save your self the headache of a hassle. I recently got it due to me planning to rebuild one of mine.

For a bearing of that magnitude and importance and also being that they are not commercially available anywhere but here, I would be very suspicious of the fit and quality of the above item. There's a reason why they are so expensive here.

Yeah, as far as the seals go I'm going to go with the ones available from ihon. As for the bearing it looks like old commercial bearings from decades ago because of the packaging it looks like nos. I'm going to give it a shot. If it doesn't work I know ihon can supply me with what will work.
