I have a South Bend "Heavy 10" and one of the thrust
bearings in the cross slide is shot. Anyone have a source
for these? I'd probably replace both if I can find some.

I just took the worn out bearing to the local bearing/motor repair
shop and they were able to fix me right up.

Did it take up much lash?



I can't answer for him but I bet that most of the play
comes from a worn nut on the cross feed screw. Unless
they were really trashed.
