RJ 2 inch Idler Pulley -- Bearing Replacement ???

Recommended Posts

Lane Ranger

 

I have several RJ  Wheel Horse idler pulleys,  I would like to know if they can have the bearing in the center replaced?    Mine are all sealed and still function but do seem to have a lot of wear as they generally have a little wobble when bolted onto the transmission.

 

If anyone has replaced these bearings I would appreciate knowing and what type or model /size bearing is needed for replacement.

the bearing and pulley are the same thing if I am remembering correctly the outer race of the bearing is the pulley

That's my understanding of the RJ pulley as well.  I have a NOS one back in Alabama and recall a bearing co. name and number on the inner race.

You  know I was sure that Brian and Evanloock would be two of the folks to speak about this!    And I am sure you guys know.     I can read an imprint on one of my 2 inch pulleys that it was made in Philadelphia, PA.

 

Thanks guys!

the bearings are NLA  should be "NICE" bearing company if remember correctly

I have had good luck cleaning these in solvent and blowing them out with compressed air then

if you have a needle tip for a grease gun you should be able to inject some new grease inside the bearing and save it
