Mystery Disc Bearing

Here's a candidate for mystery of the month. I've got a 6' 3-pt disc harrow that uses a bearing no equipment dealers around me can identify. Each of the four gangs is supported on two sealed bearings, each a hair over 3" OD, fits over a 1" shaft, and is 2.5" long. The bearing is held to the frame in a fork by a pair of semi-circular saddle clamps. There is no ID plate or other identifying marks on the harrow other than numbers on some of the larger castings. It's an auction item, so no background, other than it's factory color was reddish-orange. I depend on this harrow a lot, and one of the bearings just fell apart. If anyone has seen such a thing, I'm in great need of info! These bearings are plain cylindrical double-sealed single-row ball bearings, just that they're so long. I can't replace the ball-bearing part alone, because the inner race is a single piece the full length of the unit, with the ball race and seal surfaces all machined on the one chunk. HHEELLLPPP! Farmer overboard!

Thanks muchly for the info! It's a big help knowing what brand it is - much faster getting to the "we don't have that" stage. :-) Will post how it turns out.

Robbie is right on line with the Dixie Bearings if there's one near you.
Another source is Motion Industries or someone else like Dixie.

When you go to a dealer he's gonna tear your hip pocket off for a bearing. Most times you'll have to get him to order it from one of these bearing places, and then he'll mark it up several times for you.

Sounds like you have an Allis Chalmers disk. I just recently bought a 12 foot disc fitting that same bearing description and one just went out on me too. Let me know what you find out for a price on these would you? I haven't priced them yet from the Allis dealer or any bearing warehouse yet. Hope this helps Leon in Mn.

These sound like what Allis-Chalmers called Bal-Pak bearings. They were used from the fifties to the early or mid sixties. A dealer should be able to cross the spool over to a later design which uses a more common (and cheaper) type of bearing. If not, call Joe at Bartlett Bearing in Philadelphia, PA. I think he could match up wheel bearings for a housefly if you gave him a day or two!

Many thanks to all the good folks here and at the Unofficial Allis page for much helpful info. The disk is definitely Allis, the bearings are definitely "bal-pak", and I'm definitely S.O.L. It seems these cuties are unique to Allis, and a good price on them is $112 each (Olson Power & Eqt., MN). With one shot and at least two more close behind, thin wallet syndrome knocks me out of the race. Gonna have to cobble up something ugly in the barn or put that otherwise nice little disk on the heap. Thanks again to all for your time & trouble. - Tony.
