Does anybody know what size balls are in the Yaesu GS-065 thrust bearing? My cheap caliper isn't precise enough. Looks like 3/8". They're rusted and bumpy. Has anyone had experience with ceramic ball

I'm always amazed at how threads wander off the original question. And by how much I learn from that. Thanks gents. Also kinda amazed no one knows the diameter of the bearing balls. 73, Mike NF4L ___
That's what I ordered. Course for very few dollars more, I could get a new unit. But then I'd miss out on all the fun of chasing bearings around the garage floor, and getting the grease out of my hai

Bob , Sheaves from McMaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/#rope-pulleys/=szwb6p item mine. The main is pretty easy, it gets a bit tedious, but not terribly difficult on the 2 inner. I'm replacing the
The max diameter sheave McMaster-Carr has for a 1/2" axle is 3", which is what I think HyGain supplied. To get a larger diameter sheave, you'd have to go to a 3/4" diameter axle which would mean dril
I think the Hawg turns too fast for that application. I'm trying to rig a Dayton 3000# to use a wheelchair motor, continuously variable speed. My used HD-70HD came with a Dayton winch (made by Dutton
Don - There are a couple of guys I think could do that. Their names are Penn and Teller, they operate out of Vegas. Seriously, any other approach I can think of involves getting to the top by some me
