I have a old lathe that has a broken ball in the thrust bearing . I have been searching for months for a replacement thrust bearing , but keep getting told no one makes such a braring the size I took out of my lathe . So my question is what grade of ball do I want to buy & I will replace the bearings individually ? I have a bud with ah surface grinder & if needed I can have him grind the thrust washers . I only need 19 3/16 balls which I know I can get but unsure of whar grade I should get .
