The bearings and races look good to me, there timken. Not sure what came stock. I have a full rebuild kit, should I install new bearings and races from india brand, or leave the ok timkens?

I would say lube up the old bearings and run them or get some new Timkens. Steer away from off-brand bearings. Timken or Koyo are the best.

Decided to swap them anyway, no sense in having new bearings getting stashed away in a box. Now I have to mess with shimming up the idler
