Any local bearing supplier should be able to get the bearings you need or you can order online in the states if you can't find a supplier. Just make sure the bearings are tripple sealed and try to get the best quality that you can.

I had the Argo HDI and the 2008 Max IV bearings on the desk at the same time.... both were the same size. From what I remember, the argo bearings are tripple sealed and cheaper than the Max bearings. I would take a bearing out of the max and go to the local Argo dealer... if unsuccessful, then would go to a bearing shop.

The bearing that MAX has used since 1995 is the same dimentions as the ARGO HD bearings. #HC207-20-r3 is a 207 series(72mm) ,wide inner race , locking collar, 1 1/4 inch bore ,regreasable, tripple seal bearing. Argo is having theirs made with Argo part # on them. I have been purchasing from The Big Bearing Store because they ship in flat rate boxes. I dont know about shipping to Canada.

There are many 6x6World members that get their 6x6 bearings from Buffalo Bearings here in NY. They offer great customer support and they'll ship the order out very fast. I've had excellent luck with them over the years, and if you tell them you're from 6x6World, they'll take good care of you. Their number is 1 (800) 669-8019.
