Howdy all. My 9" is growling like mad, does anyone know where I could get a new spindle thrust bearing?
Thanks,
Dan
Not sure if your 9" spindle has the same diameters as all the other 9" but I recently worked with a guy who needed this, and we found these:
McMaster-Carr
The .032" washers are part #5909K51.
Regards.
Mike
Dan I have original South Bend thrust bearings here used in good condition. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks Ronnie. I'm going to explore a new bearing first, if I have no luck I'll PM you.

If the growl is coming from the "THRUST" bearing--which is the 3-piece ball bearing inside the rear headstock journal--,then the McMaster needle bearing is not what you want. The McMaster needle bearing is to replace the fiber washer on the outside of the rear headstock journal.
Have you pulled the headstock spindle out and examined the condition of the thrust bearing?
First I would move the forward reverse lever to neutral and run the lathe without any gears turning and determine where the growl is originating.
well that has not worked so has anyone accurtly measured the thrust bearing ? and what is the sizing
