utilizes, and said I need couple of these (old bearing), and this is what I
got, so nobody to blame but me. Now you say the correct bearing is the R & M
LJBL40. The number on the old bearing is R&M LJ40. Is this the same
bearing? or is what was in there incorrect? Also, as far as a part number of
the correct thing to get, should I ask for a R&M M208 ?
