Very significant difference.
I will be buying Timkin spare grease seals and bearings.
Having used Dexter OEM DL 10-36 grease seals for 8 years now I see zero issues with them.. The Dexter OEM inner/outer bearings and races look as good now as they did new 8 years ago... over 37K miles on the bearings...

What is the significant difference in the Timken? and yes.. I well know the Timken name but they aint.. in some cases made like they were years ago...
