1936 Throwout Bearing Replacement HELP!

I have a 1936, F-36, 3-speed. I am looking for a throwout bearing. Some previous owner replaced the carbon bearing with a modern roller bearing type.
The bearing started making noise and needs to be replaced. The problem is I cant't find another one like it. The housing is marked "Lubro Life" CH-35B. The bearing is marked "Lubro Life" CH-37. Well I looked high and low and I can't find one to match or a replacement. The bearing uses the original arm and pressure plate. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard D.

I played with those numbers, could not come up with anything! Your going to have to find a bearing warehouse like Motion industries or Applied industrial
and have them match it up.

I don't know where you are located but there used to be a place in Baltimore called Power Transmission (Not like in a car trans but like in moving power from one source to another) I never saw a bearing that they couldn't match even if they had no numbers just the bearing. They were on Patapsco Ave

The add was for a 1950, bearing rebuild and didn't seem interested in helping me locate one. Back to square one....
It was a good try !

I was afraid of that. I know nothing of these guys but maybe worth a call.

I tried crossing it to Buick, Pontiac, and Chevrolet but could not get a good picture of their setup.

A call to Fusick might be worthwhile. I am assuming they don't have it but those guys are pretty helpful and might point you to somebody that has one. It is worth a call.

1936 Olds Throw Out Bearing

I hunted 1 down last year for someone here on Long Island (New York) and
he hemmed and hawed about the prices (because he needed Pressure Plate
and Clutch Disc -- plus labor at a local shop) -- and he never got back to me..... so who knows what he did with the car?!?!?!?!?
















I have the information on who had the bearing -- we can see if they still do.
(that was BRAND NEW!!!!)
Call me -- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935..... New York....

1936 Throwout Bearing Replacement HELP!

I plugged that part# into an interchange that I am registered with and came up with a "match". The only dimension that they give is the 1.5" id. The bearing looks like the one that you posted. I can get one and check all the dimensions if you haven't found anything. Let me know. Thanks, Bob.

I haven't got anything yet. If you can get the dimension I would appreciate it. And if it is right or it is close, I want it.
Thanks !

I just spoke to one of the counter people. He said that the box had been opened and the bearing didn't look "fresh". He gave me the dimensions, and the id. and length were wrong. They show one in a local warehouse; he is going to get it for me tomorrow, and we'll check that one. Keep your fingers crossed. Bob

We have a Kubota dealer in town. Great lead I'm on it.
Looks like it might work.
