Tribsa500 6 #1 Posted April 9, 2017 Hi guys,the bearing on my idler pulley (part no.7451 I think) has given up the ghost and i'm struggling here in the u.k. to find one.Does anyone know where i can get one, or how to machine (or convert) an existing pulley to suit.Thanks.

pfrederi 17,895 #2 Posted April 9, 2017 Most times you replace the whole pulley not the bearing. the 7451 is now 95-7668 Stens makes a couple replacements which may be easier for you to find 280362 or 280313 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #3 Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) If it's a pulley like this (riveted together) you can drill out the rivets and replace the bearing. Reassemble with nuts and bolts. Edited April 9, 2017 by N3PUY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,102 #5 Posted April 9, 2017 I believe the 280-362 is riveted together with a better bearing in it. If it ever fails you can replace just the bearing by drilling out the rivets. The 280-313 is a less expensive standard assembly like the originals. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
