Default Looking for a source for (tailwheel) bearings...

My tail wheel bearings need to be replaced. The are flanged and sealed and measure .75"ID x 1.375"OD. So far, I have tried Flyboy Accessories, McMaster, Grainger, PIC, and Berg. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Do a search under "timken bearings" , you will need to measure the dimensions.

Default Applied industrial technologies

Applied Industrial: Many cities have a distributor. Our local guy likes to hear that you are putting it in an wheelbarrow or something, we don't mention airplanes.

Thanks for the lead. I found some at Applied Industrial. Funny you said "wheelbarrow". I brought the bearings to work and showed them to a colleague who specs bearings for many of our systems and said "These look like they come from a wheelbarrow".

Thanks again.
