Description

For your consideration is a Ham "III", bearing kit for replacing the old worn "egg shaped" steel bearings. These are brand new manufactured exact replacement bearings for the Ham "III" Rotators. Replacing those old worn bearings will give a much smoother rotation in your rotor and prevent possible "seize-up" of the motor. Ham "III" rotors use 98 bearings. One bearing set (race) is used on the bottom stationary part of the rotor and the other bearing race is used on the upper rotator part (bell). Also included in the kit is a liberal amount of lithium grease for bearing lube and a liberal amount of Marine Grade anti-seize grease to put on the bolt threads to make bolt removal much easier many years later should the rotor need taken apart again. Other "Ham" type rotor bearings are on auction here on E-bay under my name " n3qkradio ". I would advise changing all bearings at one time because the older ones may look ok, but in a short time they too will fail. Taking the rotor apart is not an easy task, so changing all the bearings at once will last a very long time. If you have never undertaken the chore of changing the bearings, I will send you my instruction booklet explaining the way I do it. I have re-built many rotors for the local area ham community over a 25 year span. I am available via e-mail to answer any questions concerning the rebuilding you may have. The kit includes: 100 bearings, a liberal amount of Lithium grease (bearing lube), a liberal amount of Marine Grade anti seize thread grease, and step-by-step instruction booklet. I ship via Priority Mail to lower 48 states to retain my prices at 'ROCK BOTTOM"! $40.00 shipped to any US ZIP CODE LOCATION INSURED.
