Re: Idler shaft and bearings
When I get home next week I'll measure the shaft. The small bearing and button seem to be in great shape. I will play around with the idea of 2RS bearings with the correct ID and OD. Thank you. The shaft is 5/8" in diameter and is 6" long. The bearing is 1 3/16" in diameter (same as ...
