Picked up a well used conditioner this weekend that needs a little attention before being field ready. Anybody know a parts outlet for bearings , sheer pins, etc. ?

I used to pick up bearings for my Cunningham at local bearing house. Used a number of different brands over the years. Bearing housing is a square flange secured by 4 hex bolts threaded into the Cunningham housing. Bearing inserts into flange at 90 degrees perpendicular, then rotates into place.

Mine ate bearings frequently on right side. Can"t remember if upper or lower. Problem caused by rusted out sheet metal plate with flange collar which was supposed to keep hay out of the bearing. As soon as I made a replacement plate the problem ceased. You will know as soon as the bearing starts to go. The roller will wrap up with hay at that end.
