Years ago when I did landscaping at our local college, we used Toro zero turn mowers. Like a lot of parts, Toro didn't actually make the deck belt idler pulley (the way that it was designed, the grease fitting would never lubricate it correctly). It like a lot of other parts on the mower were used by other big commercial mower manufacturers. I believe that the part was made in Wisconsin, but the main guts of it, the bearing (which would be the component that would wear out) was made in Canada. The manufacturer, still making these parts in Wisconsin, switched to Chinese made bearings. Of course the part itself was still expensive but now it wore out in months instead of years. As a result my supervisor decided to just buy the Chinese knock off and save the money.
Wife is going to love the fact you stole the lawn chair cover to work in the sawdust lol. feel the same about TSC - Go to Rural King instead mostly. Have a great day!
I liked your bed also. If I got down on that soft cushion, I'd probably fall asleep. I'm going to have to do some research and find out what TSC did to make you mad. Until the US can learn to make things without costing an arm and a leg, I can't buy things unless they are made elsewhere. Like the video.
@@rogerpeyton8000TSC was supporting Pride festivals and drag queens it has come out since then that they have stoped supporting LGBTQ but I still dont trust them they should have gotten rid of the management that supported that stuff but they didnt
@burntchurch They are looking at it as a money-making situation. It's not going away. That's what China is looking at. They can make things cheaper than the US. If your man gets back in there in November, we'll be buying from Putin.
Those bearings are made by McGill I believe. They are designed to take the cantilever weight of the sawmill. Other brands use smaller roller bearings the will wear out very quickly because they cant handle the weight. Stay with what Wood-Mizer uses when they built it.
We have a company in the next town about 10 mile away from me and its J & J services they do belts and bearings they even manufacture part's for machinery for farmers they probably nock a few of them up a fella went in and asked about a part the fella said we could do one within reason the part he was looking for was 350 plus tax it would be over 450 at the dealer the fella made the same part and it was made better for 220 with tax hope your going to do the other bearings as well
