[AT] Yanmar

Oh I see,  I've seen bearings like that a long time ago but don't remember 
where.  At any rate it is amazing what is out there if you know where to 
look and obviously you do Farmer.  Actually I guess it's really not that 
amazing when you think about it.   For the most part when folks build 
something they don't re-invent the "wheel" they just get a catalog and see 
what is available that will work.

Glad you found a source.
