Looking for parts help, please

[tonyps]

Hi ya'll, new guy here...I have an old Craftsman 12" Bandsaw, model: 113.243300.
I am in the process of reviving it and need to locate a set of "thrust bearings".
Dimensions: 1" diameter, a tad more than 1/4" thick, 3/8" center opening for mounting screw.
Thanks in advance for assistance. I did look on the Sears parts site, but the diagrams are such poor quality, I decided to make them my last choice. We all know how difficult it is to get a real person on the phone these days...

Most bearings are sized in mm's. It would be a help if you can get metric measurements. Also, look on sides of bearings for a number. If you find number, any bearing source can help you. You can take old bearings to bearing distributor and have them match them. Years ago, Dixie Bearings, now called something else which I don't remember, was located across the street from Durham Tech's machine shop building. Look in yellow pages for bearing distributors.

Thanks for the reply. Call me old fashioned, but I do not use the Metric system, though I do know how....The bearings are so old, the markings are no longer visible enough. I have posted to a few distributors websites, waiting to hear back.
Thanks again.

Tony, the link below takes you to the sears website. Scroll down to parts and click buy parts online. Type in your craftsman model number, hit go, and then you can search for specific parts or look at a parts diagram. I found this rather usefull when I was fixing my tablesaw. Good luck with the bandsaw.

Tony--------I found bearings for my old sears BS at an electrical repair shop. Took the old bearings and they cross matched----------the new bearings were much better bearings.

Tony,
Using the sears link that Paul posted and your model number, the site lists two bearings and a bearing spacer.

You can also check to see if any of the Sears repair centers have the parts in stock. Neither the Raleigh, Durham or Greensboro repair centers have any of these. No big surprise.

Evening,

Thanks for the assistance. I was holding off going through Sears, I have not had good experiences with them. However, I have reached the end of my searching, so I called and placed the order today. Keeping my fingers crossed they get the order correct.

Thanks to those of you who responded with assistance on locating this...

There is a place in Raleigh off of Highway 64/New Bern Ave that sells bearings. If you take what you have with you, you should be able to get a quality set for a get a good price.
