Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....just returned from Tracy

Crook's

Rotary

Roundup. What a pleasure

it was to meet such wonderful hosts such as Tracy and Laura.

They

really

went the extra mile in

providing good food, conversation and friendship. I met Paul

Lamar,

Fink, Robert (he makes the 2

cycle oil pumps for the Mazda), and so many other knowlegable

people. I

wish the weather had

allowed more to attend.
     As I mentioned in the past, I have a Ross redrive, and I

was

trying

to find help in the

installation of the thrust bearing modification. I removed the

Ross

from

the engine, and started

to disassemble it. Upon looking at the shaft, I found a bearing

that

might possibly be already

installed. Attached is a picture of what I found. If anyone is

familiar

with what I have, I sure

would appreciate any information regarding this bearing.  Thank

you

in

advance for your replies.

Hi, Ian....thanks for helping to identify my redrive. I just assumed it

was

2/17 to one instead of 2.85 ratio. Yes, I would love to have some spare
parts for my redrive. Also glad to pay for them. Please let me know how

much

you'd like for it, plus shipping. Again, thanks for your offer of

assistance

!!!  Paul Conner, Mobile, AL

 Sorry Paul but Peter Cowen got in first.
