Shopping around is good. We have a Purvis type bearing store and sometimes the automotive stores can get them as you are saying. We have a family owned farm/welding shop that manages to have most disk and other bearings right on the shelf and reasonably priced.
I stick with one of the name brands: SKF (owns MRC), NTN (owns Bower), Timken, FAG, Koyo, Nachi, or Fafnir.
Country of origin is getting tricky as the big guys are opening plants in China etc. Also there are fake bearings floating around out there, look-a-likes that are marked with a brand name but made with inferior metallurgy.

The last bearing I bought from the IH dealer was simply a repackaged Bower. IH used to make their own bearings decades ago. All part of the corporate game.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
