bearings (needle roller)

Does anyone know the number or the measurements or a source for the needle roller bearings for the upper band saw wheel? I had our community shop's bandsaw apart and forgot to look at the bearing numbers.

Be sure to check the size measurements are there are different size B88 bearings.

bill,

are you meaning to advise that this may not be the exact bearing that is in each of my bandsaws?

I did not want to pull bearings but maybe I must.

Dusty;
Which Bill?:D
Some bearings can vary in size. The 6205 series that are used in the drive shaft can have different sizes depending on manufacturer.
