Getting the old cups out is usually the hard part

Hello all,
Had an hour so removed old bearing cups and set the new in. Used some heat. outer was slow to give in but rear with heat 10 minutes. cleaned up seat. They are tight going in. No lock tight needed. nothing cracked

Morning,
What is the diameter of the Beatty oil return hub?
And what wear tolerance is acceptable?
Thanks for your help

For the Beatty windmill- What grade of steel balls are required? I see some are slingshot quality and have seen some up to $30 each. Yikes.
Thanks for the help

I just get them on Amazon, good quality. Not the ones for slingshots

Thankyou
Will get them ordered

Evening all,
Couple of questions for the Beatty fans.
How do you patch bullet holes? Like this one in the hood of my Beatty mill cap.
Can this Beatty pump be identified by year? It works and we use it. It is our water pump when power is off. Had it in the basement for 40 years and finally set it up 4 years ago
And my seven year old granddaughter uses it often watering grammas' flowers. She will pump and carry 6 or more buckets. Says she is a farmer girl.
