Does anybody know where I can obtain this bearing? It’s an SKF pressed steel flange type, 4 bolt, shaft diameter 45 mm, outer diameter of race 85 mm, hole centres 120mm across the diameter, overall flange outer diameter 150 mm. It’s on a straw chopper on a JD combine. Main Dealer can’t identify it. No marks on the bearing.
You think it’s a straight forward job but never is.

It shows a 4 bolt flange on the quality bearings online website. I think some suppliers show a 3 bolt flange photo for all their pressed steel flange units, which isn't very helpful.
So I ordered 2 off SLFE45EC.
SLFE45DEC would have had an inner race that extended in towards the middle of the shaft.
EC indicates eccentric locking collar.
Every day is an education for me. Just hope they fit and arrive before it dries up again for the spring barley.
The rotor was vibrating a fair bit. Sharpening the blades as well and weighing them and trying to balance it up best I can.
Might even run to a new set.
Thanks all for help getting there.
Chopping spring barley straw, some on here would make that a capital offence😂

As has been pointed out before , this is the correct bearing .
As I understand it the uc209 is an insert for a casting. The insert has grooves round it for grease. The bearing in the pressed flanges doesn’t have the grooves round it. That’s a subtle difference as I understand it. Anyway if it doesn’t fit then brother will be busy baling.🙂

You're over thinking the situation

Used to be a very good shop in monks way Lincoln but gone now. Lad knew what you needed before you had picked the phone up. Now everybody can’t function unless you can quote them the bearing number which is either worn off or burnt off by my gas axe. Some have a notebook at the main dealers with all my combine details in it. Now you start from scratch every time. The storemans art is being replaced by mouse clickers.

How times have changed. Dear old Norman in TH White, Devizes, even when faced with a vague description of the required part would go straight to the shelf and pick it up. That of course was in the days of parts books rather than computers.

I‘m reminded of the cartoon I saw in a dealer‘s parts dept. some years ago

Gormless storeman to frustrated farmer:
”It’s no good you pointing at it - The computer says we haven’t got one.”
