    Eaton will stuff whatever's on hand into their kits. The Eaton master kit I bought for my RTO-15615 had bearings from National, SKF, Link Belt, Eaton and another brand or 2 that I can't name off hand.

    looking at torque specs on the trans so i can print this stuff out. HAs specs for cast iron and aluminum bell housing. I assume mine is aluminum. Stupid question, Will cast iron draw a magnet? just want to get the right torque specs. My housing wont attract a magnet.

    Cast iron should be magnetic.

    Just went through all the same stuff, only thing you might consider is new flywheel bolts. Most re use them, but I replaced them since they’re designed to stretch when torqued. And a new yoke nut, Upgrade 750 lb torque type.
