Hi Bart,

Lets see...Feel like a washboard gravel road. I had two and they felt that way to me when new. They definitely do not feel like you expect a bearing of that price to feel. They've since picked up a bit of wear. Wear as in the top section sets down on the base real tight and the inside of the bottom race is now like a razor. IOW, they are shot!

There are much better bearings with 2 and 4 hole mounts for a half to a third (or less) cost, complete with zerk(s) There are those using centering bolts, or the off center locking collar. They are available in SS as well for a bit more money.

Try bearings.com or something similar.  I can't find the original links

All,

I am looking for a Rohn TB4 bearing.

New - would be nice - NOS okay too...

Used - be nice if it came with hardware... Need not be a beauty queen...
But prefer it not feel like a washboard gravel road when you turn it.

Anyone have anything on the shelf collecting dust, before I go to Ebay...

Thanks and 73
