Bearing Identification Question

I've come across an unusual (at least to me) bearing on my Farmhand 810 feed mill with sheller. I'm looking for the correct name of this style of bearing in order to search for a replacement.

Bearing is on bottom of vertical auger shaft (auger moves shelled corn up to hammer mill intake). The ball part fits inside of the flanges with the oilite bushing in the ball. Shaft drops into assembly from the top.

Sheller parts book lists PN as 17941 or 7478-6. Description is 'Pillow Block Bearing.' Oilite bushing has 7/8-inch ID for shaft. There is old grease packed into the ball part as if the oilite bushing turned in that bore. The rest of the bearings on the sheller are the standard bearing with locking collar, which I can get from Shoup, etc.

Can't you just change it to a common bearing and lock collar with a cast pillow block or steel flanges?
 
That bearing was probably installed in a place where operating conditions are very dirty/abrisive and the seals in a ball bearing would not hold up.
 
Don"t know why they call it a pillow block- pillow block I"ve seen is a different design, mountws above3 a frame with two bolts, not on the side of it. Similar bearings, with wood inserts, are used on Harvestore conveyors, and some grain augers.
 
That's it! Thanks. Now to see who might sell it retail. Can't seem to find it on McMaster-Carr's website.
