The Timken number that I tried using is RW507ER. Perhaps the Suffix R is the
radius designation. In any event, it doesn't really cross with the Green
bearing used for the Moser axle and I could not get a different Timken bearing.
The inner races have a different radius on the i.d. I alway use Timken, but
not this time. Southwick will also send you Green bearings. Number RW507E.
