McMaster has cheaper bearings if you look on page 1197 in the
catalog
which shows "flanged ball bearings" for 5/8" shaft for $4.37,
while
their 1/2" bearings are $10.50!!! So, either use a 5/8"
shaft or use a
1/2" shaft with a bronze bushing to fit into the 5/8" or
3/4" bearing.
Note, to keep the cost down, you can also use bronze
bushings for the
road wheels, since they don't see as much stress as the
drive train.
That's what I did in the latest refit of the
Tiger-1.
