B fan shaft noise bearing update

Butch(OH) · Mar 25, 2023

The fan shaft noises were all bearing related. Luckily the geats are fine. Probably old hat to you 2 cyl gurus but A very small amount of research disovered that the bearings were very common automobile front wheel bearings back in the day. Since I am not a fan of Chinesium bearings I punched the New Departure number into EBay and returned a 100 listings and a seller with 4 old stock ND bearings, They cost me $60 delivered. Just information amd thanks for the help!

You lucked out. I don't know about the B but they used two sizes. The larger ones aren't too bad but I found the smaller ones at around $60 each. The A uses the larger ones but my H takes three of the smaller ones in the governor and the large on only at the fan. I happend to pick up an H governor at the Ashtabula club show mainly for the fork. Got it home and found the fork was worse than the one I had but the bearings were useable.
