Not quite. That $19.99 is 1 15/16ths and use 2 set screws. The one on bearings.con use the locking collar. The 2" on e-bay is the same price as bearings.com. It's similar to the one on my LM470 that was up for a number of years. The bearing only has some surface rust and is still as smooth as silk. OTOH, The 2" shown on e-bay appears to have a rubber seal eith the top of the bearing flush with the top of the casting which is important. There is one for $78.90 that has the bearing recessed. Great place for water. Nicer finish, but... Lots of stuff available that is more rugged than the TB-3 and 4.

  On both the SS variety are a bit pricey.  <:-))

On bearings.com they have a really nice plastic 4 bolt frame with SS metal. Bit expensive at over $200. <:-))

I've used these type bearings for 40 years.

All,

I am looking for a Rohn TB4 bearing.

New - would be nice - NOS okay too...

Used - be nice if it came with hardware... Need not be a beauty queen...
But prefer it not feel like a washboard gravel road when you turn it.

Anyone have anything on the shelf collecting dust, before I go to Ebay...

Thanks and 73
