Just bought this bearing on e-bay, seems to be the correct one as stamped on the back of the bearing is 25877T and is in a Hudson box with the #71596

The cage has a few small spots of rust but the rest looks good. Maybe I got lucky, I'll know after I get it. Richie.

If you end up with a 25877T, go buy your self a lottery ticket as you have just hit the jackpot with that buy.

Congrats,Richie, I saw that pop up about a moment before I went on line.Could be the last one known to mankind. I was going to grab it, But my wife yelled at me for buying a part not for my 53 Hornet, So I wimped out & hoped that a Hudson owner will see and realize what they can buy for $20. Buy the way the neutral saftey switch is a good deal as well. Have a NOS one.

I have bought a few diffs (have 6) just to get these bearings. Also to look for a better ratio, brake drums, wheels and to stop them going to China. Barry

I hate to be the bearer of sad news but there are 77t bearings out there i know i have 2 of them in my stock if same one really needed one i also know of a hudson guy who has many more i know there hard to find but when did you last hear of some trearing up and axel bearing in over 42 years of hudsoning i never have

Its great you got the bearings but i would agree with Paul i have never heard of anyone actually tearing a rear bearing in a Hudson up that a guy would ever need one but to have one on hand is not a bad idea. Look at all the other parts we buy we will never use either. Chuck G

When I purchased my '42 Hudson from the USA, I had to replace both rear bearings due to the fact that the car had sat for so long , I had a growl in the rear end, on pulling out the bearings I found that they had slight grooves in the cups from sitting around, replaced the bearings and bingo no more growling.Remember the car had 14,093 original miles on it in 1989.So it had sat around a lot.

I have quite a few second hand bearings here if anyone needs one or two.

Saw this, about 7:00 PM that evening - Thought 'Wow, what a find for someone who needs it!', but decided that I didn't (need it)... Price was right - $20 + shipping...

Figured it wouldn't last too long though.

Have a '46 rear I will be swapping out for a modern one and a complete '47 Hudson pickup frame/suspension 'roller' (Just in case the 'Goose' needs either), so eh... Left it to someone who could use it -

Glad to read you're catching some of that Detroit steel as it floats by on the way to the smelter, Barry. Thanks for that.

Got the bearing today and was just as seller advertised. Small rust spot on the cage but bearing is good, still had hardened grease on the rollers. Its good to have a bit of good luck from time to time. Richie
