Guys,

The bearing shop guys believe the modern sealed ones are best. I think this is because the sealed units are obviously pre packed with grease and that grease cannot be lost. I suppose they are saying grease is better for bearing function than oil splashed from the gears?!?!

When I get the clutch shaft bushes, i'll have them do a search for other substitutes. Will also take them to the local hydraulic shop for same thing. The have a wide range of stock bushing material. There might be a generic unit available there too.

I had a package slip in the mail yesterday, indicating two items a post office for pickup. Judging by their stated sizes, I deduce one is a six pole junction block for the wiring terminals. Theo other package is about the right size to be the new wiring loom! If that is so, it will be a very exciting day I will know this afternoon, when I pick up those on the way home.
