Craggar Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I tried a search but didn't find anything on them so now I'm posting here. Anyone know where to get the proper rollers for my manual genset slide out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Here's a possible source but would have to remove one to measure, track rollers. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/rollers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to take it apart until I had the new ones in hand but I guess if I have to I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacwjames Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 You'll have to provide the make/model of the generator slide, maybe someone has sourced. But on mine the rollers are pretty accessible to measure diameter, width, and bolt size. I think I could measure without removing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craggar Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 You may be right, it's raining right now so I'll have to wait for a couples days before I can tackle opening the slide. They are so bad that I can barely open or close the slide. It's been on the to do list since I got the m/h and now that I have the priority jobs done I'm on to this one now.

Solution veraken Posted August 19, 2023 Solution Share Posted August 19, 2023 Double check the dimensions, but this is what I have in my files as replacement rollers https://vxb.com/products/6201rs-bearing-12mm-x-32mm-x-10mm?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIycCIop3g5gIVU5JbCh3PDAEbEAQYASABEgJ5IvD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerman Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Mine were real bad a few years ago and I lubed the heck out of them with Pipe Break and after sitting a bit soaking in worked them back and forth and they have worked fine since. I give them a sqiurt about once a year. Sure wish they would have used sealed bearings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craggar Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Never heard of Pipe Break and mine are real bad too. I'm afraid I might break the fibreglass trying to open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerman Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Pipe Break is an amazing product. Its price has gone crazy but it is so good it’s still worth it in my mind. Have been using it for years. As mentioned if you try it let it soak and reapply occasionally and tap with a hammer to help it along then work the bearing back and forth if you can reach it. Pretty certain you will be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craggar Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Figures, doesn't look like I can get that from Amazon up here in Canada. I do have some Areokroil that sounds very similar so maybe I'll give it a try for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerman Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I would think that would work for you. Just be patient and follow the same method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J A Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 50/50 % of ATS and Acetone is the best penetrating agent i have ever used. Use https://boeshield.com/products/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw_5unBhCMARIsACZyzS1fNHOZY8Q1NCcDQ7aERFZyZQmDjgtkxmpJkfM1BUlwvw-2haJEvaAaAinEEALw_wcB and you will experience flawless performance . GREAT for the steps too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyKingII Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I was just getting ready to suggest 50/50 mix of Acetone/Auto Trans Fluid and saw Pauls Suggestion. I do a fair amount of restoration of Classic Cars and have found this very helpful...Quite Affordable also, apply liberaly and keep doing so and as mentioned don't be afraid to apply a BallPeen Hammer as needed,be patient and I think you'll be happy with results...I have been!

Craggar Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Tks guys, I keep forgetting about the Acetone and trans fluid. If I remember right WD40 came from that somehow didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
