Havent had one go bad yet. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 6/21/2008 4:01:38 PM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 5

I was waiting to see how they worked on your tumbler because one of mine is bad too. How much is one and what part # fits our tumblers? ~Tom (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 10

RE: Bearings need help bad - 7/7/2008 11:12:53 AM    bottlediger Posts: 2367 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline Tom, I found out the only ones to fit our systems are the ones straight from wayne. All the bearing problems seem to be worked out you just have to make sure you install them exactly as wayne says or you will mess either one or both on the shaft. The new ones I have installed are working fine now, best of luck digger Ry _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to Bottleman) Post #: 11
