I did as Kim suggest below and did contact Isheaves and Ray/Raymond  he writes back that YES they have this bearing, in fact 800 in stock and at 29.00 each with a 10% discount on orders of 12 or more.

Considering my age and tower needs plus raising fixture i think i will order 12 or so, and my words not have to run this trap ever again, i have lost count how many my tower { UST-589 }  needs/uses but its a few.

My technology here is i know when a bearing is bad because the small aluminum filings pile up as the cable pass's across the sheave and drags a new rut in the original groove that is not turning or most often frozen in place...

Scotty,

Contact Ray at isheaves.com

He's working with several hams to line up a run of pulleys to meet our needs.

I have a US tower TX-455 that tilts over.

The bearing in the top of the raising fixture's sheave needs replacing.

The matching sheave on the tower has the same bearing and is still in good 
shape.

I can press out the old bearing and press in a new bearing.

Can someone please tell me the brand name and model number of the

bearing that they have used for this replacement?

Bearing bore size is about 12 mm.  OD is about 42 mm. Width is about 13 mm.

The worn out bearing says: NICE PHILA K8

Sincerely appreciate any help.
