Re: (ET) New tires for steering

A pillow bearing that fits fine is available from Grainger.  I can get
you the part number if you like.  It's stainless with a Teflon bearing
surface.  It was less than $10 and should last forever.

I will agree. I lost a front axle because one spindle galled. Now I do 
the spindles twice a year.

Another thing that fails is the pillow bearing down there.

Speaking of which, does anyone know of a cap that can go over the tops 
of the spindles? Seems they should not be exposed to the elements...
