So i have been looking for some bearings for my shelfer RC10, I finally found some, I have to sell my house and all my cars but they are some nice bearings $85,000 each

Outdrive bearings are very important though

WOW!

Too cheap to pop for ceramic bearings I see.

I can't afford those. Do they make nylon bushings in that size?

I used to make bearings like that at my old job.

I know they make them, We have a 60" diameter bronze bushing in one of our lathes, I think it has an ID of around 30" for the spindle.

What company did you used to work for? We buy lots of bearings in all sizes, This is not the largest we use, Just the largest i could find with a quick walk through the plant

That's what I first thought of saying!

I used to work at Timken in Keene, N.H. Sometimes they sent me to the Lebanon, N.H. plant during slow times. In Lebanon, they make bearings up to 4 feet tall.

Cool, We buy a lot of Timken bearings, We also use SKF, FAG, and a few others.

Thanks for sharing. What's it used for?

My old is new build will apparently require a lot capital investment.

No idea what you just said. I was thinking sleeves for paint rollers, but I don't know of any 90,000# paint rollers. What is that for? It's quite a bearing.
