Thank you, Kyle
Tom, also thanks for your posts.

I am doing like Fordified, in the process of rebuilding my generator. My rear end bearing looks like the one you have in your third picture. My question is what does a person put around the thing you mentioned had a string around it? I bought a felt type of thing from one of the vendors that I assumed went on this type of "pulley". Is that true??

Thanks again.
