SO me and elbo traded a few machine and I got 2 of the mark fretwell direct drive and they are nice.. on one of them the little bearing that the Sheppard loop goes on seperated and fell off, so I was trying to find one to replace it.. elbo sent me a webb site but there was no parts on there.. does anyone over seas have a way to get these. or have one laying around??
Have you checked smallparts.com?
nope but i will, not sure what I'm looking for
Post a photo, of the other one that is intact. you may be looking for a 5mm OD bearing.
Jay im off to derbyshire for 3 days and will be offline until thursday....but i will try to locate one when i get back and send it to you..im sure starr supplies have them in their catalogue?...i will check it out when i get back......
Been a while since I have been on them, so they might not be there anymore. But one was cheaperthandirt.comAnd another was surpluswarehouse.com or something like that. They both often had grab bags of bearings in small sizes. But to second what was said before 5mm outer diameter bearing is almost definitely what you are looking for.
I may have one in my spares box I'll have a hunt on Mon. and see what I can find for you Jay.
thanks everyone I will post a pic on monday when I get back to the shop
I looked on eBay.de for a kugellager 2x5x2.5mm ( i think this is tge right size could also be a 2x5x2mm )and found sets of 4 ( German made ) for around 10 - 15€ this is a do not skimp part. Cheap ones will collapse quickly.
What the heck are they called anyways? I could never figure it out. Offset bearing things? lol Cams?
Sorry Jay had a hunt thru the spares and couldn't find one I'll keep looking and let you know if I manage to find one
Attachment 5531so this is what I need, Attachment 5532here is the diameter of the shaft
by all means I do not want a cheap on.Quote:

thats the ting it did not have anything holding it on.. I have 2 of the same machine and one was just loose i will post a front picQuote:

Freeze it as in spray the heck out of it with compressed air? Or simply put it in the freezer?
Putting it in the freezer will usually do the trick. A little locktite can also help but you will never get it off.

yes actually I have one that is complete, I will throw it in the mail to you..thanks dale. I cant wait to try you direct drive machine that I got thru the group buyQuote:
