hi guys, who is the closest to phoenix and can send me a piece of chit roller, preferably from a 40c,(to start with)unless you have any suggestions or preference, ,, i am a machinist and my plan is to see if i can come up with a way to refurbish a worn out,shot,screwed-up,fubar'd,roller
fyi for shipping,its about 44 pounds,and my zip is 85226,, i can figure the ups charge if you can't, but i need your zipcode,,, ,, if your snowbirding it,,, i'll see you in a few months,
no gaurantee you'll get it back ,,, it might be totally destroyed by the time i "fix"it or it fixes me,,,, either way ,, the result will be posted,
i can afford to waste some time and money on this,,,
i suppose somebody better send me the dimensions too,,
i don't think there is an older jd crawler within 750 miles of me so i can't go look at any, and the local dealer went "huh?" when i mentioned 40/420 crawlers
my plan is to make them so their bush-able, or even a pack of bearings??
i suppose i should ask first,,, has anybody actually done this ??? tried?? and for the show tracks,, GOLDPLATED,, hahahah . no ,, well maybe,,,

roller
sorry i dont have one to give you, but i am intrested in your results, i know of one guy that i work with and his are shot. i tryed to get him to take one apart to see if some sort off bushing could be made cheaply. his has frozing to the shaft and the shafts turn and are wearing thru the saddles, his other ones have come apart. he still use"s it that way. it sounds like santa is coming the way the rolls jingle. i will see if i can get him to part with one of his.
