Thanks for the info.  Good supplier for our sheaves !
Prices very reasonable.  I am thinking about replacing all my sheaves on 
my HDX589.
Will take them to my local machine shop and have new waterproof sealed 
bearings pressed
in as we discussed earlier.
I am anal about maintenance on my tower.  I recently replaced the
worm drive reduction gearbox lube with a synthetic lube as per Hub Citys 
recommendation.
We need to drain the gearbox lube periodically and replace with fresh 
lube anyway, I figured go with the
best lube.

##  somebody needs to get a memo to UST asap..and tell em to use the correct sheaves.
While you at it, tell em to use 100% synthetic in the gear box...and not dino oil. 

##  I counted  22 sheaves on my UST  HDX-689.  UST wants like $150.00  to replace each one.
