David Einhorn Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I used bearings intended for use in a bicycle steering column to replace the bearings in a Champion 400 blower years ago. If you have a bearing dealer in your local you could remove one of them and take it there to match it for a replacement. Our area used to have two bearing suppliers, but I don't know if either still exists. If you put your location in your profile on this forum, then someone local to your area might be able to tell you what supplier in your area has what you are looking for.

david9n Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 I already have the new ball bearings. Is there a way to align fanshaft in bearing or is it self aligning. With the new bearings inplace crank seems to be a little noisey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSmithBear Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 The tapered nuts will adjust the shaft to run true and well...don't tighten too much or the resistance can be hard to crank. Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSmithBear Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There are six bearings on the 400, you may need to replace them all. Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
