Recently went to two of the local bearing and seal places here in denver co. left the stuff at both places. For one of my items that I needed the bearings and seals for I ordered a kit at about 1/2 the price. For the other item I went to harbor freight and bought the Chinese replacement. The replacement was only ten bucks more than a bearing and two seals. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
