I get mine through VXB. I asked the sales rep on the phone what kind of price they could do for me on 40+ in one size and they ended up going $2.25 each delivered.

Yeah,..those Ebay prices are way too high for me.

Not bad at all though when you only need 1 or 2. For a bunch like JJ bought, yeah, I paid twice that much. Interesting enough, it's the same source, as that is VXBs Ebay store.

They'll give you a much better price if you call them through the website and ask for bulk quantities. I did 40 of the 6202s and 24 of the 6203s.

Its the cross border shipping that kills most Ebay purchases for me. My local bearing house charges me around $3-$4 for most any bearings for chainsaws. Got to pay the going rate from dealers for proprietary ones.

We used to......they moved.

We still have a KAMAN Bearing locally.

Would you think its possible they (Nachi) would manufacture bearings to fit an 028?
Or is 1 or both a proprietary bearing?

The flywheel side uses a 6002. Get one that's C3 rated. As is typical from Stihl, the PTO side bearing is proprietary.

I read some reviews of the kart engine builders. Those guys are way harder on parts than us saw guys. Their engines constantly turn high RPM at near the highest power threshold that the engine is capable of. Many of the top-level karting engines only last a few races. SNR and Nachi got great reviews.

Translation is bend over when you have to purchase one, plastic cage and all....

I ordered an SKF bearing from KAMAN for FW side this AM.
I'll have it tomorrow.
I mentioned NACHI and didn't get a very promising response from the salesperson.
Although they could get them, they didn't recommend them.
I've known the salesperson there for 10yrs, so they're not trying to give me a blanket party.
So for $12, I went with the SKF.....I can pick it up tomorrow @ lunch hour.

I've had good success with the SKF bearings that I have used. I also purchased them at a local supplier. Sometimes a few extra bucks on a project does not matter to me if I can expedite the process. I know if I were buying 40 like mentioned above I would ask for a price break on quantity. But I am still gathering information about bearings. The guy I talked to last priced a flywheel side bearing for a Stihl MS260 - the price I got from the dealer was actually cheaper than his price. Incidentally the MS260 flywheel side bearing was made by FAG (for Stihl).

motion industries...

just pulled some 6202's from a husky that were skf....made in france...
got a quote from motion canada...
nachi c3's ...quantity 10...$ 2.79
skf ..."...... "........."...." 6.43
i asked the guy at motion where were the nachi's made and he said japan or taiwan..won't know until they get them...
he did say that the skf was a better quality bearing ...sweden...france...i do see they have a factory in jinan china....

i have more than a few saw's to do...i've read most of the threads about bearings and learned a vast amount of info from this site...

still can't decide which way to go with bearings....

cheers.........

I think it was SKF that I used all throughout my 041G.
