Quick question for any bearing heads in the group. I'm looking to replace an
old ND 3L06 bearing, which is the same thing is a modern 6006. The only problem
is that the outer race has a groove for a snap run close to one side. Is this
something that's normally available, or was it a custom job for a given
company?

Also, if it was a custom, is there anything preventy me from turning a groove
in a stock bearing with a carbide tool or abrasive slitting wheel?

NTN Bearing Corp. - add "N" suffix for snap ring groove, "NR" for
groove with snap ring. Any seals or shields? Their designation "Z",
"ZZ", "LLB", "LLU" etc. would go between the 6006 and the "N" or "NR".
Good luck.
