It has been sometime since I bought those tapered wheel bearings sets from an industrial bearing house. I know they were not over fifty bucks per wheel and with the inner side V-groove seal. I am thinking more like 32 to 40 dollars is what I would like or expect to pay today.

Bearings took a couple big jumps in the last ten years. SKF expanded into the market even more and other makers dwindled with Japanese and Chinese competition.

I prefer Timken, SKF, or some Japanese brands like NTN since their quality has improved over the Chinese specials of the unknowns. SKF bought out Chicago Rawhide Seals but National and Timken are hanging tight. I wonder if their not one in the same?

You got me thinking I had better take the time to check my stash and price them sometime in the future.
Thanks,
Phil
