Timken 6203-2RSC3 6203-2RS Deep Groove Ball Bearing 17x40x12mm

Well made bearings. Good quality. A lot less expensive to replace just the bearings than the whole variable speed pulley assembly for my riding mower

I bought three of these bearings to upgrade and repair the front hub on my walk behind Poulan Pro weed eater. The original bearings had a leaky metal shield (6203zz). The new bearings have a rubber boot (6203-2RS. They fit perfectly and I hope will last a lot longer. Seems that the original bearings are not made to last.

replaced the stock bearings in my A.O. Smith Hayward SP1610Z1MBKMaxrate 1.5HP motor for my pool pump. These bearings are a step up from the bearings that came with the motor.

Much cheaper than a new motor! Runs like new.

JD X500 riding lawn tractor drive pulley assembly is not serviceable. JD wants to sell the entire assembly at around $80 (part cost only) and does not sell the bearings separately. These fit perfectly. Remove the old ones, put these in, reassemble deck and youre good to go. Save yourself some money if you are handy.

Needed to replace a couple of bearings in a BCS tiller. These fit the bill perfectly.

Timken is an American brand if you consider it was founded in the United States and head quartered in North Canton, Ohio (Wikipedia). The bearing is described as American Brand. Thus, leaving where its made as a complete mystery. When the 6203-2RSC3 6203-2RS bearing arrived neither the box nor wrapper nor bearing had any indication of country of origin. I ordered another bearing from Texas Cargo on AMAZON Timken 6203-2RS Bearing 17mm x 40mm x 12mm Made in USA.... That bearing had nearly identical packaging, the wrapper was a little more substantial and the bearing did say USA.

Received on time and in new condition as advertised. Installed in compressor motor and runs quiet, unlike the old bearing.

It came in a little box the bearing was wrapped in plastic. It fit in the pulley and the pulley spins. Without the former sound effects. yay.

Used two of these bearings in my floor fan. They seem to work good. I like Timkin bearings and always have.
