Ok, Ive succeeded in launching the check ball in my grainger across the garage! I should probably be more carefull in the future, but for now I need to find another ball.

Can anyone take their grainger apart and tell me the OD of that ball?

thanks,

I'll try and pull mine tomorrow, but with my luck I'll probably do the same.

well I found a ball bearing that had a 0.34" OD, and fit pretty well. It seems bigger than the "stock" ball, but it fit, and works!

thanks guys!

I'm sorry...But in my frame of mine when I read that....it was just too funny.

I once had to hit a set of spring compressors to get them off the springs...The spring went down the driveway about 30' and then the other one hit the back of the garage....Whoa was what I said...

Glad to hear you got it back together again. I opted to buy a Dawes pre built unit - that and a A/F unit just tonight. Should arrive when I'm 3,000 miles away (CA trip to see my sis next week)...
