• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

General bearings question... need to find one

There are lots of kinds of bearings. For a single row ball bearing they go by the bore of the inner part. There are series of duty, light to heavy with the balls being bigger and of course the thickness and outer diameter increasing as the duty rating goes up. There are inch series and metric series. But there are roller bearings, taper roller bearings, spherical roller bearings. needle bearings, and more I could think up and more I couldn't name. BDI is most likely nation wide though the place I used to go in person doesn't have a cash drawyer any more. http://www.bdi-usa.com/ Even Napa employees have the tools to get most bearings though I doubt most know how to use them.

If you verify it is a single row ball bearing I could elaborate.

If it is a taper roller beaing often the cone and the cup need ordered seperately. Some things are just kind of special orders by the factory of the piece of equipment perhaps incorporating a seal a special way or a special length.
