[AT] hello?

[Gene Dotson]

    John'
     Nope, not at NAPA, Advance, TSC, local lawnmower hop or at nearest CIH 
dealer. It is a 17 MM metric bearing. Ingersoll dealer at Celina, 40 miles 
away has 2 of them and told me they were also used on the mowers. Well gosh 
I have a Case mower in the barn I never have used and it has 2 of these 
bearings. Took about 15 minutes to get back in service.

                Gene

P.S.  For what it is worth, Our local NAPA store is not the super parts 
stores some of yopu seem to have.
