Ron,
I sell bearings as I run a bearing shop. The bearing you want is
a "499502H" by part number, I replaced mine a year ago and it makes a
big difference. They sell for about $5 each across the counter.
If my brain is not slow, it also might be called a 99502H. One has the
snap ring and one does not. They are China by mfg. but they seem to be OK
as I sell a bunch of them to lawn guys to replace the "wheel barrow
bearing". Those I sell at $2 each so you can see the difference. The
good 499502H are what is referred to as ground bearings and the " wbb"
are referred to as un ground style.
