Looks like bearing braking up, suggest replacing if cost effective. Simply Bearings?

Thanks both,
I've ordered one 16 inner 40 outer 12 width/ depth...may fit , may not £10.
Any thoughts on where to get a RS5 ?
None on Ebay.

These will be a standard size bearing - not proprietary to the mower - and should be readily available. Bear in mind too that they will almost certainly be Imperial dimensions.
I have in the past bought Imperial bearings from suppliers including Simply Bearings (mentioned in a previous response) and Wych Bearings which is currently listing the RLS5 at £3.52 ex VAT for the open version and £3.81 ex VAT for the enclosed version. Both would be OK for your machine I would expect.
Very clear advice. Thankyou…
Very clear advice. Thankyou so much. I have ordered one from Wych.
I just need a couple of Ransome carriages now ( for less than £25 on ebay !)
I have used Aruldite to repair mine, broken in a vice when straightening ! I don't know if that is strong enough.
Thankyou for that. Just…

Please let me know how you…
Please let me know how you get on with finding Ransome carriages for £25. I had to pay in excess of £100 each for the couple I’ve got for my marquises . Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places lol.

Ah got it, you are talking about Front Roller Brackets for an Ajax???
Yes they are called carriages on parts list but probably never referred to in that way in modern times!
Out of interest the wheeled carriage for the Webb is actually referred to as a 'transporter'.
It may be helpful in future to supply images they speak a thousand words!

Looks like it’s been rather hot. No option but to replace it. Those RL5s are getting expensive , try Simply Bearings , they may give an option of an economy one.
