John Deere uses a bearing like that for the jackshaft on it's mower deck, they sell it seperate. If it's not the correct size I would make bushings or atart boring holes. I doubt Wheel Horse would have gone through the expense of having a special bearing made for such a limited production, there's somthing out there that will work.
