I guess I can't complain.Â* The machine is over 35 years old.

Timken replacements are pretty expensive.Â* RHPs are a little less.Â* If I

Boca has a set that says light preload, but I'm not sure that's a good
idea.



Never mind. I decided I needed to get the machine going more than I
needed to cheap out. I went ahead and ordered a new stock RHP (owned by
NSK) substitute set from Locate Bearings, because I really couldn't wait
to find out if I could luck into another cheap set. I need to get my
machine back in service as quickly as possible.

Still the RHPs were about 45% cheaper than the Timken (Fafnir)
bearings, and the guy at Boca said they should be a really good bearing
even though he doesn't sell them.
