Just getting around to replacing the arbor bearings on my old LST 12 saw. Would like to know where I can obtain replacement arbor bearings for the unit. They are pillow bearings. NTN AL204-012 is the bearing #. They are, I believe, an insert pillow bearing that does not have a locking collar. Also the best place to purchase these or a reference bearing that can be cross referenced, as I haven't been able to make a lot of progress with this. Would appreciate any an all assistance, input or direction Our Members can offer. Thank you very much! IV

Hi Ivan, I'm going to move this thread over to the "cutting rocks" area where I know it will get lots of attention from the pros here.

I buy them from the auto parts and had to go all the way to the "why in the hell is it here" section to find the label but here it is.
14274 BOWER/BICA but written by me on that is ST974.
Not the greatest bearings in the world but will work. There are a lot of these saws out there so you should get more responses.

The original AL 204 that I removed is an symmetrical insert bearing that seats into a symmetrical stop that is secured to arbor. Thanks for your input an suggestions. I did call Lortone and they said they would call back?? Unable to find or locate the section where you may have posted this. Thanks again for taking the time to reply! IV |

Correction: Eccentric to replace where symmetrical has been entered. Hope this helps!

IV I don't have that saw, but I do know how to find and buy things on the internet. Please correct me if I misunderstood, but you said the bearing number is NTN AL204-012 - right? I Googled "bearing NTN AL204-012" and came up with an assortment of possible sources. Google linkThey can be bought from bearing dealers, or through eBay or Amazon. Your choice. I saw them for $14 to $45 and more. There is also so e cross referencing info there as well. Good luck! |

Thanks you very much for taking the time to post your research. I finally decided to call a local bearing dealer and they were able to match this bearing exactly with a Timken RA012RRB. There seem to be a multitude of 204 bearing listings as well as manufacturers. However I only needed two (2) as I am not a volume dealer. Thanks again! IV |

I would say buy the best, so replacement may be few and far between.
Fix it once.

I buy from a place online called The Big Bearing Store. You can buy one or two or many. Of course the more you buy the more you can spread out the shipping. So far prices are low and quality is high. A local bearing supplier is always nice too. You may pay more but can also get valuable help if they are bearing experts. I used to buy from an ag supply when I was working. They could find any bearing with the numbers. This was about the beginning of home computers back then.
