Can someone identify this bearing?

It's a Magic screed as far as I know there's only one model

ps66x4 said: It's a Magic screed as far as I know there's only one model Click to expand... Well just from a quick check online I'm seeing several models. Just an example of the gas engine models: https://allenengineering.s3.amazonaws.com/2022-08/MAGIC SCREED Manual UpdatedCovers.pdf Looks like all those use the same shaft assembly (10026) that I'm guessing is the shaft/bearing assembly you are looking for you machine. Might be worth a call to the company or look on this site for a dealer: https://www.alleneng.com/ A quick look for dealers in Conn shows three.

Kinda amazing how that tiny tidbit (name) can help us ..... Now that we know that it's a $350+ part, we can keep going down the rabbit hole trying to break it down. And the whole book...there are variants within.

The pic in the first post was "borrowed" from an Ebay listing, which, ironically, is the lowest price I see.

This thread reminds me of that great Chevy Chase scene in the movie, Fletch. Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Pricey !!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/1154586464...80496732614413&abcId=9300542&merchantid=51291

I have a feeling that that shaft assembly/bearing is a stock item and if you can find a source for it from a bearing company it will be about half the price the screed company is asking! I'd be taking it to the nearest big city and visit some bearing supply houses. Then when you walk in the door look for the grouchiest looking grey haired guy and talk nice to him! If he has a name tag on call him by name and ask for some help.

Evidently there are four different models of Magic Screeds. But, They all use the same drive shaft.

I'm in communication with SKF and waiting on what they have to say.

I found one 1.5"x2.125 like the one that was there, input needs a little machining and I'll have to fabricate the counter weight but the bearing is less then $50

I would rather find an oem at reasonable cost. I won't be gauged

Nsk885801SE Water pump bearing will work. Cut both ends to length, drill one end and broach it 1/4" hexagon. Axis 885801SE bearing is the same size just I never heard of them.

https://m.alibaba.com/product/1600406766516/885801SE-Water-Pump-Shaft-Bearing-with.html I think this is it

I couldn't find the Axis 885801SE on Ebay for the $16.75

It has been sold since I saw it earlier today. There is still one listed unfortunately for $43.15 delivered. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=+Axis+885801SE&_sacat=0

I found out the difference between the 885801SE and the 885801 is the 885801SE is not a tempered shaft. Which is the one I need so I can cut and drill.

You need the 88580SE ? Is that correct ? I can search some more later today if you want. Right now I have to go to my shop and work on my boat.

Thank you Tinkerer. I have one coming.
