rcreweread Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi all - would appreciate some advice from the collective wisdom of all those on here. I know these sets are highly desirable and in short supply, but realistically, how much is a set of 4 bearings likely to be worth? These are the genuine OE bearings with the designated "S" specification after the number, denoting their higher quality. The set comprises the following bearings: 1. Pinion Front Bevel Bearing: 15245-15100 S 2. Pinion Rear Bevel Bearing: 3188 S - 3120 3. Output Shaft Bearing x 2 : 16283 - 16150 There are a few scratches on the outer surfaces of the bearings but all the inner faces and rollers are totally unmarked - see attached photos Would appreciate any comments Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi Rich, Personally, I’m not sure you can put a definitive value, they are worth whatever someone in need is willing to pay - I’d be inclined to ask someone like Mike Papworth or Peter Cox & Son their view on value. i did see the TLD (not a personal recommendation) was posting on F/book regarding bearings and gearsets, but no mention of explicit prices. ......

ed_h Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Rich-- For the pinion, 15100 will not work, at least on distance tube units. 15100SR does work. Don`t know about 15100S. Are its measurements he same as 15100 or 15100SR? Ed Edited April 25, 2021 by ed_h Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have enough trouble trying to sell a reconditioned diff for the same money! Cheers Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Rich That is the difference my good friend who only builds for known ex customers has some sets and will not part with them so yes they are worth strong money Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rcreweread Posted April 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Thanks for everyone's recent comments - I'm not very good at Facebook and all I could find were some Christmas photos of TLDs fireplace and a few other comments but nothing about bearings - is it possible for someone to post or PM me a link?
