  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I want to bring my 250 to Speedsville but I have a bad wheel bearing.


Any ideas where I can get one overnighted?

Thanks,

Rich
 
If it is the 63005-2RS, I know Bent Lever in Vancouver WA has them in stock. The high quality ones at like $36 each. 360-891-6900

Or all-balls makes a kit, they are closer and would probably over night it to you. They were really helpful when I called. 888-228-3323

Later,
 
Halls is pretty quick on their shipping too. Springfield IL, they'd probably send it to the Speedsville for ya if that works too.
 
Find a local bearing supply shop.

The exact same bearing my Yami dealer wanted $30 for was had for $10 at a local bearing shop in Portland. Do shop around though as bearing shop prices vary wildly.
 
Ditto on that or call Hall's. They'll get it to you by Saturday morning, but it will be costly shipping.

You can also go to the ALL-BALLS site and cross reference that number and see what other bikes use the same bearing. Seems like it was pretty common when I checked.
 
Figure out what size it is. ID, OD and thickness and call a local automotive or industrial supply shop. Wheel bearings are standard sizes so you don't have to go through a dealer if you don't have one local. Make sure to get a top quality Japanese or German bearing, not a cheapo chinese one.
 
Even the top quality ones from Germany are being knocked off.

True, but at least if you ask for a quality bearing from the start you have a chance of getting what you asked for. Ask for a cheapo bearing, and you will definitely get a cheapo. What's a guy to do when bearings have to be sent off to be analyzed to tell the difference between a genuine quality brand and a knockoff.
 
when i need a bearing today, or if i need 1 period i take the bad one out and take it to my local bearing house. they always have what i need. husky uses very common bearings and seal in the wheels and the steering stem.

thats what id do though.

From what George said, the factories that make the knock-offs are like gypsies and move they move them around. I suspect they make their way into even the most reliable supply chains through the weak link of human greed.
 
Hi Rich
I have complete All Balls Rear Husky wheel baring kits in stock, comes with seals, Give me A call aqt the shop if this helps. 908 637 6385.
 
rich I have a brand new one in the wrapper,63005-2rs?
its yours if you cant find one and I will be at speedsville saturday,
sometime around 5ish come find the white husky van
 
If you are in NNJ there is a great bearing supply in Pompton Lakes. Check the phone book, you probably have a supplier within 20 miles of home. You just need the standard # or ID/OD and width in MM.
 
That is an odd ball bearing, it was 40 bucks Canadian at my local bearing house. A friend of mine made a new spacer for between the bearings and uses a 6305, the same bearings as the drive side, a lot cheaper too
 
Thanks everyone.

I went to the local supply and they did not have it. They had the narrower 6305 but not the 63005....I ended up bringing the TE250 which ran great BTW.
