Which bearing is better, more durable, and longer-lasting, the all-steel or rubber inset style? | ||

 Whirlpool bearing will be made in China so I avoid those. Use one made in the USA, like SKF or Japan like NTN. I personally use NTN bearings.
I just looked them up on Ebay and these bearings are going on average for $300-$1,200 EACH. WHAT THE FUCK? I use to pick them up for $10-$15! Is this a result of the plandemic? I know inflation is on the rise but this is ridiculous. Cheapest bearing I could find is $85.
Here's the sizing 130 x 200 x 33 mm | ||

Chinese bearings are just fine, this is aa very low stress application, Harry is your bearing even bad ?
Unless it turns and makes noise or does not turn smoothly use the old one, I bet I have not replaced 10 of these in almost 50 years and we have many good ones laying around, I have never put in a new one that's for sure.

Since it rusted inside I decided to replace it. I'm waiting for my Krud Kutter Rust Remover and Inhibitor to arrive so I can clean away my rusting parts...the tranny spline and helical, agitator shaft spline, and bearing | ||

That's a heck of a big bearing, what is it in? That's about 5 inches by 8 inches by 1 1/2 inches... Not surprised it's expensive. | ||

That's about 5 inches by 8 inches by 1 1/2 inches... Just double checked the part# and I must have typed 6026 instead of 6206.

Krud Kutter Rust Remover...
You won’t be disappointed. I’m also restoring a vintage Maytag washer, and I’m using that stuff on the hardware to it. I would use it on everything rusty in the machine, but I can’t afford to do that at 50¢ an ounce. For that, I’m going with Evapo-rust, which is significantly cheaper. Haven’t tried it yet, but have heard good things about it.
