Bearings are all a "standard" off the shelf size. All you need are the dimensions and you can get one from any transmission house, there are the other spec "RR" means a rubber seal both sides, "ZZ" means a metal seal both sides. You may be lucky and see the 6 figure number etched into the old outer race. Myself, I would replace both bearings and save tears later on. Take note that these lawnmower people LOVE using left hand threads on stuff.

I use Spen bearings, who are just down the road from me (no promotion intended).
