Try Unity Railway Supply, 630-595-4560. You will probably need 6 1/2 x 12 or 7 x 14 pads. They come either dry (un-oiled) or pre-oiled. The pre-oiled cost more to ship ,and are more expensive. The dry pads are to be soaked in regulation AAR car oil, by completely immersing them for at least 12 hours. Let them drain on a screen for a while after soaking, before putting them in the journal box. If you need any more information about repacking plain bearing journals, let me know.<br> |
