I found a seller that was liquidating old stock for a government agency and was able to pick up a number of old stock US made transmission bearings for $1-$3 each. For a time back in the 80's, these bearings were also sourced from Austria (Steyr) and Italy (SKF) and those are also of excellent quality.
Good information,Thank You.
