Bearings

Recommended Posts

Well. I was in the process of changing the PTO/Clutch pulley assembly. The old Pulley assembly was cracked. The tension was out of adjustment and I think the old pulley got too hot by all indications. Well I grabbed a new pulley from the mower junk yard which appears to be brand new and never used but it had a minor problem. The inner bearing was too small or possibly over stressed when it was originally assembled. That was rather strange but I checked dimensions of the new pulley to the old pulley and they matched. I was going to take the bearing out of the old pulley and put it into the new pulley but no matter how hard you try and no matter how careful you are you can't get the main bearing out without destroying it so after yesterday's attempt to save it I ended up needing a new bearing. Well the Toro dealer wants $25-$27 Dollars for it plus an extra 12 dollars I think for the seal. I called up a local bearing supplier to the company I work for here in Grand rapids. They have the exact bearing and exact bearing seal from the same manufacturer's in stock and they only wanted $10.00 for the bearing and $5 for the seal. Needless to say I said yes I will take it. So, if any of you need a new bearing for your mower or other piece of equipment these guys carry anything and everything and if they don't have it they can get it. Google "Motion Industries". You will for sure find their website.

:omg:

Good Day!!

Generally Speaking. My toro dealer is about the same price as the toro online ordering system. Usually it's within a dollar or 2 for every order I place. They never have a part on the shelf either which really sucks.

I believe the online toro store also charges freight on your shipment. Most of their stuff is sent UPS at least to here.

They do charge freight. This dealer doubled the price on the parts and still charged me freight.
