Today your p/n's begin with 2 XXXXXX and followed with SM . If you have a Simplicity dealer try them first, if not NAPA of all places might have what you need. Bearings and seals are fairly common items. For them the original number will be the ticket.

Not very likely with the aftermarket companies. After you disassemble it you can get the manufacturer's bearing numbers off them. With those numbers NAPA or a Bearing House may be able to furnish what you need. John Deere can also cross the Simplicity numbers to theirs if they have a comparable item.

Be careful, even with Simplicity dealers. The last deck bearings I bought from a Simplicity dealer were made in that fine section of the world called China. They are still in my cabinet, took one to Motion Industries and bought SKF bearings. If the dealer has new old stock, you might luck up and get decent bearings.

I would take it apart as Chris says, get the old bearing numbers, then allow someone to look for what you know will last. Tearing the tranny apart, while not a lot of trouble, is no fun due to premature bearing failure.

Sandy Lake (advertiser here) got my bearings, seals and bushings for my rebuild several years ago. The BGB rebuild parts came from Motion Industries and a local Simplicity dealer. You get what you pay for with known brands, most of the time
