Vermeer 630b pillow block bearings...anyone have a source?

[Pepperidge]

last five digits of serial 02487

I'm getting a fair amount of shaft play and wanted to replace these before any damage occurs to the shaft...

Does any one have a good source for these 1 3/4" bearings other than the "stealer" part# 118335001 @ $135 ea. ?

has any one had good luck cross referencing them at a quality supplier of bearings and came out with a good product at a fair price?

Name brand? Model? Part #'s?

any help would be appreciated...

Thanks,

Paul

Cool site there.
Looks like they carry the same sprockets and chain used for the drive on the vemeer sc252,but with differing pins.Sure would be nice to speed the drive motion up.They walk SOOOO SLOW when you have to go from the curb to the back corner of the back yard.

I've read where some have had success with changing the hydro pump pulley,but then it changes the other functions as well[swing,boom up/down] . I don;t think I would want that.

Oh,and there prices are pretty good too.
