The Sears I went to is closing. I went to replace some of the gear wrench stuff that had been lost over the years. I could have bought it cheaper from Napa.
Ball bearing or friction? Didn't that top box have box both? Friction I don't think they will have, I think people have suggested having them made. Ball bearing was accuride so I don't think you will have much trouble finding them.
We have used jb weld on cylinders in dump trucks on pits like that when they don't want to replace the cylinder and we're just repacking it. To be honest it holds up very well. I was surprised the first time I saw it done but it does work.
There good carts. I believe Matco and cornwell rebrand them. I had the 8054bk. It was great and the guy I sold it to uses it will no issues. It's about three years old.
