I appreciate the suggestions, but the nearest bearing supply house is an hour away, and not in a direction I usually travel.

Sounds like you may have an R8 series bearing. Not sure the width you need. R8 is the common size number for it.

Call the bearing house, maybe you can just send them the bearings, measure them and provide you with the replacements.

If he ordered from Mcmaster Carr he already has the bearings. It's highly unusual to order from them and not have it the next day. Most bearing houses don't carry anything unusual these days unless they have regular demand for it. No reason to make it difficult when there is a simple solution.

1/2" x 1-1/8" x 5/8" bearings arrived. They are identical, but with the expected lettering on the seal. Thank you all for the help. Now I hope this little guy can get back to work.

Thank you for critiquing my suggestion. I will try to do better next time.Originally Posted by Ronald Blue

Are we overly sensitive? I DID not quote your reply. You also weren't the only person to tell him to go to a bearing house which he had already addressed. Maybe you didn't read the whole thread. That's something that seems common these days. If I offended you I apologize. Be happy he received the bearings and can put it back together. Have a good day.
