bearing replacement for driver's seat?

[erkme73]

I couldn't stand the wobbling driver's chair any longer. I took the seat off the post, and found about half of the ball bearings missing. The two sleeves were contacting one another, and the seat was wobbling on the remaining bearings. I swapped it with the functional bearings from the passenger seat.

Now the fun begins trying to find this part... I checked McMaster, and Google, but no such luck.

The OD is 6 1/8", ID 4 5/8", and the actual point of contact is right at 5.5".

Anyone replaced one of these? Don't know if this is brand specific, or something that comes with all Workhorse chassis.

Hmmmm! Could FlexSteel help you out? Or are they that make?

Yellow page a bearing place in your town and pay them a visit with your parts for ideas. A machine shop might work too. They could probably point you in a good direction or maybe even fabricate/find what you need.

Give this guy on eBay a holler it is close in size

Thanks for the ideas and search pointers. I'll give it a go tomorrow while at work.

If you have a industrial hardware store in your area you might try them. I've had luck getting small ball bearings in the past before.
