This from a friend:
Now one for you to ponder: I'm after a couple of bearings for my
Howard Dragon rotavator - the ones that support the tine shaft. One
bearing is completely shot (as in it's in two separate pieces), the
other is OK, but I work on the principal of doing this job (semi)
properly. The only markings are: England PF 135 30. It's 30mm internal
bore, 72mm external dia, inner race 30mm wide, outer race 19mm wide,
triple rubber sealed. I think it is what is known as an Agricultural
Bearing (due to the two different race widths). I've trawled countless
websites to try and track them down - but no luck.
Can anyone help?
TIA
Richard

Is there a flanged housing into which this fits? Could the bearing and
housing have been supplied as one unit originally? Is the housing marked?
Does the inner race protrude equally to either side of the bearing?

Tell them what it's come off
Bet they'll be able to source it
Some times there's a reference number on the inner of the bearing
Good Luck in your hunt

Dougal,
Answers from Robin:
In answer to the A.F.L. questions - yes it protrudes equally on either
side, yes it's ball bearing (as per 6306-2RS), yes it's a replaceable
part - not part of an assembled housing. The bearing part number is
"England PF 135 30"
The rotavator is late 1970s/early 1980s I think, and parts for this
model aren't that common - sourcing used parts is the only real way to
get anywhere.

Is the inner race tightly clamped longitudinally or basically just
sliding on the 'shaft'? I suspect the latter is most likely but if the
former you may be able to use hardened spacers either side of a 6306
variant.
Timken have the sorts of thing that I think you're describing but not in
the size you want (although there may be other metric bearings):
www.timken.com/en-us/products/Documents/Ball%20Bearings.pdf
from page D27 onwards.
As DieSea suggested, your best route is to try the bearing suppliers
(Brammer, Eriks etc.). They have resources that we cannot beat and can
usually match almost anything.

Thanks Dougal
Info. forwarded. Actually, I don't know why he doesn't do his own
research here as he has a quietly rotting Series I somewhere :-(
