Thank you. Snyder’s has the bearing seals for sure. I’ll follow-up on your source.

Remedy? A Buddy suggested welding the fractured roller bearing. I cleaned and prepared the cracked individual barrel with a Dremel and used my wire welder and ran a sealing bead across the area. Knowing my fix wouldn't be perfectly cylindrical, I ground down the area below grade of the original circumference so the affected area would not have to work as a bearing any longer. Kind of like a phony tooth! I think this will be a reliable patch, at least for another 92 years.
