About a decade ago I purchased a new trust bearing for my universal tower. I 
never used it and it sat inside my open air car port. I long forgot I even had 
it until a tornado wiped the car port and it's belongings and scattered 
everything over hundreds of feet. It was never in the rain but being exposed to 
the outside humidity it got dirty and in some places original paint peeled off. 
I took a wire brush to it and gave it a coat of black paint. The ID is stamped 
2-1/16" and turns freely. It has a zerk fitting and two set screws. The 
distance between the 4 outer mounting holes is ~5". I am asking $75 and willing 
to pay for USA shipping. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to 
contact me at w8bya at mchsi dot com. 

It looks very similar to this:
