Good place to get bearings?

[havoc1482]

Hey all, does anyone have any recommendations for a place to get simple bearings? I suppose my options are pretty limitless, but I don't know if anyone has any go-to online retailers or just go to the auto parts store. I have NAPA, Autozone, Advanced Auto, and O'Reillys all nearby.

I pulled the front bearing from my 6volt generator for my Super A. It needs to be replaced, its a sealed ball bearing. "BCA 203F", nothing fancy, I found it online from a couple of places, but since I'm not in a rush I figured id ask.

Thanks guys!

I needed new bearings for the squirrel cage fan for our Quadra-Fire wood stove insert. A bearing wholesaler in Springfield, MA sent me to Boca Bearing.
I got a few more years out of the original fan. Finally had to replace it in 2019. Quadra-Fire parts are not inexpensive!!!

203 bearings are common automotive bearing, just some have shields or not

Since the generator has an oiler port, would you recommend an open face bearing or get a sealed one?

many replace that with a sealed bearing so they do not have to oil them again

203 Ff is fairly common ,Home Depot, Lowe’s local ace hardware.
I look at eBay for the uncommon USa FAg,
Skf, timken, Torrington,nice, new departure, consolidated bearings to name a few that are still available there. , I look over the ad with a magnified search .
You can save . I bought rear axle bearings for Farmalls from eBay.
If your not sure of a finding of a bearing ask ,all I can say ,your choice or go oem .
