got close. I gave up drove to Memphis and went to Memphis Bearing. I walked in, and layed the seal on the counter, a guy walked up and said how many do you need. I told him 3 and he went in the back and brought me three back. Twenty years ago I could
have gotten the same service at any parts house in town. The difference is, there are no more mom and pop stores, they are all
big chain stores and no body knows nothing anymore.
That's my first stop when I need anything related to bearings or seals. Been doing business with them for close to 40 years. And when you go in its same guys in there. And on the rare occasion they didn't have it they would get it next day.
