Model Forum / General / Models / July 2008Thrust washer material?
I'm needing to make a new thrust washer for the rotor drive sprocket on an old Howard 300 rotovator, but I'm not sure what material it's made of. Initially I thought it looked like copper, but after having to heat the bearing sleeve next to it, it now looks a more bronze colour. Photo - http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/2701246380_ffaca30a86_b.jpg Dimensions are 1.9" od x 25mm id x 2.5mm thick (aprox.) I only need one, as the other side has negligible wear. Also, any suggestions for where to get suitable material? thanks moray > I'm needing to make a new thrust washer for the rotor drive sprocket on an > old Howard 300 rotovator, but I'm not sure what material it's made of.

If so, RS components do 2" od x 1" id tube but you'll need a mortgage as it's £65 + VAT for a 13" length Their code is 682-028 but I guess there must be cheaper sources out there? >> I'm needing to make a new thrust washer for the rotor drive sprocket on an >> old Howard 300 rotovator, but I'm not sure what material it's made of.

I'll have a look later on to see whether I've got something near I could slice a piece off.

Shall see what he has before I take up any of the other offers. moray > I'm needing to make a new thrust washer for the rotor drive sprocket on an > old Howard 300 rotovator, but I'm not sure what material it's made of. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > thanks > moray Probably a bronze or Berylium Copper. Measure the ID,OD, and aproxiamate thickness, and get in touch with a bearings supplier. Chances are really good that it will cost you far less than making it will.
