Rear axel play?

[Mckilc1]

I tried doing a search but wasn't able to come up with much. Anyways, I have some play in my rear left axel hub. I pulled the axel out and everything looked good excpet the bearing which is obviously worn. The price of the bearings aren't cheap, so I wanted to check to make sure that is what is causing the play. It's nothing bad, BUT if I'm going this far into the cart I might as well do it right. Does this sound like something a new rear axel bearing will take care of? Would it be a good idea to order the dust shield and retainer gasket at the same time?

Also, would anyone happen to know the correct part number for the bearing?

"end play"?
Difficult to say without some measurement.
Here is a link to Timkin Bearing catalogue which should list the beariong if you can see/find the number on existing one.
Good luck.

Thanks. I can find the bearing on Vintage Parts, but for some reason it doesn't look like the one I see on mine. Mine looks more like the bearing listed for a 1972, but mine is a 1973. If anyone has a parts manual and can check I would really appreciate it.

It's not a lot of movement, just enough to make me think its ready for new and packed bearings.
