I was able to get the needed cylinder spider for my old baler through a dealer online. After it arrived and I started to replace it I realized that I actually need another part that Massey called a tooth bar crank assembly. The bearing had fallen off one of them and that allowed the assembly to.jump and break the spoder. I searched all over including the place where I got the replacement spider but so far I have had no luck. I am trying to rig something up using a bearing that is very close to the original but my problem is that the original part was riveted on. The shaft of the rivet is about 1/2" diameter. I need to have the bearing outer edge be flush since it rides in a chase that is enclosed. The opposite side of the flat stock that the bearing is riveted to also needs to be flush since that rotates in the hole in the spider so a bolt with a nut will not work. I have tried to add a picture showing the pieces in question with the bearing and without. I am looking for suggestions as to how to attach the bearing to the flat stock. Thanks for my help you may give.
