Have to wait till Thursday to get the full set and now a couple of jobs have come in for tomorrow. Had to put it back together last night with the couple new bearings I could get, and will have to pull it all apart again on the weekend to fit the rest. Not a biggie, but I'd rather just do it once.
Strange that on a USA machine that is otherwise pretty well made and has good quality components, they put chinese bearings in the front end.
