Hello John

Thanks for responding to my 2 questions.  I once found a dealer in central PA that had 5 of these.  I purchased 1 along with a new mechanical seal.  About 3 months after I fixed it the bearing went again <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> 
I think it is from using the front loader and my body weight being thrust into the wheel when it hangs up.  I need to purchase one of these and I was going to make a copy out of brass to see if it would hold up better then the plastic bearing assembly.  What do you think?  Also is there a cross number for the MF part to Oliver?

thanks

Doug
