Thread: Cheap Bearings for Belt idlers

Not only do I need the bearings but I also need the idlers wheels and brackets too. Both assemblies are completely missing from my 10ee. Thanks

I think I still have the idler wheels and bracket on a 10EE I'm parting out. Its at my warehouse, probably won't be there until Wednesday.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks

I did locate the Monarch idler, its the diecast version with decent bearings, $35.00

There are two belt idlers. One towards the back of the lathe that travels in a t-slot and another toward the front of the lathe on a bracket. How can I get in touch with you to arrange the sale of these parts? Please send an email. Thanks

Sent you a P M regarding the idlers

John,
Question about the feed belt idler bearings.
The old ones I took out (may have been replaced once already) are 87503, and you tried 88503.

Looks like 88503 has two sides extended inner race and double seals:

And looks like 87503 has one side extended inner and a shield and seal:

Thinking I should order the ones I removed, and there is a difference in our idler pulleys, or am I missing something?

Agreed. The spindle belt tensioners take a pair of Accurate Bearings' 87504, and the feed belt tensioner takes a pair of 87503.

March 2010, Accurate sells the Japanese IKS brand 87504s for $12 each.
