on the 950 I just redid, I used eccentric collars on the inner and outer. you can remove the bearing from the inner flange, use a punch and hammer to knock it sideways in the flange, then tap the bearing out with a hammer. motion quoted me $83 each for the outers (i think they make up their prices by the day as i got 5 different quotes on chain... just kept calling till i got a quote i liked) it is quite possible that your inners were just missing the lock collar. you should be able to look at the bearing and tell if they were set up for an eccentric collar. if the fafnir's are in the budget, that's what i would go with. i've had the lip that the eccentric collar locks down to break on the cheaper peer bearings that Buffalo Bearing sells. that being said, i have the cheaper ones in my hustler because $83 each was not in my budget! I always order one extra when buying bearings so that i have spares for each machine.

I bought the 2 bolt flange plate 1" bore 205-16's from TheBigBearingStore.com, they were only $10 bucks each and that included the flange plate. I also bought the 206-19's 1 3/16" bore insert bearings for about 9 bucks each. I purchased the re-lubable 3 bolt flange plates from KSCDirect.com they were about 10 bucks each for the 62mm pair. So I will see how they work out. Worse case I learn that cheaper bearings don't work. But I will keep my fingers crossed. If anyone wants the part numbers for the Fafnir bearings and their prices let me know. After shopping around, the cheapest I found the Fafnir bearings and flange plates was $325.00 out the door. The cheaper ones were slightly less than $200.00 with shipping. I'll post the make of the bearings and how they look when UPS delivers.
