Jim-- Thanks. :-)

I _was_ involved in some design, selection, and testing of anti-friction
bearings, professionally, more years ago than I wanna admit to.

In this case-- the Timkens have a cage. The L-B's do NOT. The cage is the
MAIN reason why a ball or roller bearing needs any lube at all !!

So--draw your own conclusions about one of the L-B's big advantages in this
application, Sherlock  !!
