If you can give me the dimensions, I can see if we can provide them for
you.  We stock one for the Logan Lathes, with a 3/8" ID for $12.00.  I
have heard South Bends prices are rather high.

Winifred M. Berg has a good selection of sizes of these type bearings.
Their prices are a bit better, but you won't get them for $5.00, believe
me!

   I bought some of these for an old South Bend vertical mill I rebuilt a 
while back. I ordered from a company called STOCK DRIVE PRODUCTS. They 
are in New York or New Jersey, I think. Real easy people to deal with. I 
just ordered over the phone, and they sent them COD. If you need, email 
me and I can get thier phone number from work. Ask for thier catalogs, a 
nice little boxed set of 4 books with all sorts of good info on bearings, 
belts, gears and things. They sell these thrust bearings in lots of 
sizes. I think they cost me less than 10 bucks.

  Hope that helps, 
                AL

SDP has a web page - don't have it handy.
I have attached the address for the FAQ.
