Bearings

I get my bearings from vbx.com .  I get a better quality bearing than was originally used.  Depending on the condition you may be able to read the part number on the shield and that is a good starting point, if not a good caliper will tell you what sizes you need, there are 2 bearings.  The real issue is the seal.  I bought mine from a guy online and really think I over paid, but felt it was worth it since he sourced the items and made them available.  I --think-- and good oil seal will work as well.  I posted a pictorial of my repair last fall, I'm sure you can find it via search.

To Combo52:

You know, if you do find yourself converting an electric dryer to gas, make sure to post lots of pictures on a separate thread. I'm curious to see how complex it is to do.

It also makes me wonder how immune their "Old-Fashioned" top loading washers would be against a strong electromagnetic pulse.
