Replaced the pump rod this afternoon with a 12-14" rod and all is good.

Can you tell me more about the bearing you show in the picture above and how I might get one.
Brand, model, size, availability, all the good stuff.
My A-402 is going up within the month......greg

Could anyone give me some information about the bearing shown in the beginning of this thread?
Looks like it might be a good addition to my A-402RA which is going up this month.
That is if my house doesn't burn down in all these Oregon forest fires.

I don't remember exactly which bearings and washers I bought but I got them from here, you'll just need to take some measurements of the mast shaft diameter.
