All:  i am trying to get caught up on maintenance items during the fall,  while 
we have good weather,  i have several towers  UST and TriEx both use the all 
frequent Aluminum groove pully and a bearing that is always seemed to be 
refered to as K-8  i find no supplier named k-8 or source.. as well this 
bearing is not really well constructed in terms of a good dust shield,  it 
seems pretty vunerable to me .. and always after a period it's operation is 
spotty, often with a dead or hard spot ..  

I am surly not the first to want to upgrade this item to something better..  
and i figure you all here are the ones who will know or have good suggestions 
..  i would welcome them  ..  thank you in advance ..  mac/mc  w5mc
