dennis,
Go to a local industrial supply house, take your old bearing and
ask if they have anything that will work. I went to a place here in fort
collins, co. and they have on made by federal mogul that looks a little
different but works outstanding. I haven't had any problems with iit in 3
years. I also had a choice of getting one with a zerk or a sealed one. I
got the sealed one, and it was only 18.99 compared to 45 for a unipart
one.
From what I understand with the unipart bearings is that most of
them have sat on a shelf for a few years and the grease has lost some of
it's greasenes.
good luck.
