Default C-1 Jack Bearing

Was cleaning up an old jack I bought for my 60 this weekend, and noticed that the thrust bearing was a Hoover bearing. Somewhere along the way I was told that C-1 jacks only used Niece bearings. Was this misinformation, or were multiple suppliers used for the bearings? I am planning on replacing the bearing anyway but want to be correct if possible. Thanks, John :seeya

Thanks Chuck, Dale responded to my post over at the technical board and said he had seen both bearings used on originals. :seeya
