If the ground stock is within a thousanth or so of 1.500" you can lock
the bearing to the shaft with Loctite bearing compound, available at
most hardware and auto supply stores.

the bearing and it said to have a "Press Fit" if using their bearing
for "heavey loads" I just guessed that the 6,000 + lbs we were going
to support qualified. After doing some calculations our "engineer"
said i was right.

but he got it all wrong. When i tried to find it in there i found the
newer additions were a little confusing. So all i want to know is if
our bearing is 1.5000 what should the shaft be turned down to. The
width of bearing is about two inches.
