fredwook 2 #1 Posted May 5, 2014 Hello, I aquired a Wheel Horse Raider 12 that me and my 10 year old son have been restoring. It was pretty much a basket case but we have gone through each and every piece, sandblasting, priming, painting etc. The engine is being completely re-built. The transmission had water in it so I split it to find a mess. I have ordered new needle bearings, seals, and have it cleaned up nicely only to find that the last bearing on my list is the 1533 that is not available. This one lousy bearing (only one is bad) is putting an end to the project that we have labored on all winter. I have searched every bit of information that I have found on-line and have read the "fixes" that involve machining the case. It looks, however, that the bearing used after machining is about $40 each. This plus who knows what a machine shop would charge puts this one problem more costly than the entire project. I have found a single bearing on the internet for $129. Does anyone out there possibly have or know someone that has a used 1533 bearing? I am willing to pay some money for this but just cannot put $130 into a bearing. Thanks for reading this. Fred in SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,839 #5 Posted May 5, 2014 MrsStones on Ebay just sold a pair of them for $25. When in Ebay, search Joes outdoor power and / or '1533'. Joe MAY have some in his 'store'. Also check the 'completed listings' items as sometimes you will find them there. OR. just search keyword of 'Wheelhorse 1533' Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
