You could have just rebuilt it yourself, it's so simple to do. 3 or 4 long threaded rod bolts hold the thing together. Take out the bearings, read the number from the side. Either order them from Nissna or any local bearing supply house. There like 12 - 15 bucks a piece. You should do both front and rear bearings while you've got it apart. Get a new belt from your local Automotive chain and the job could have been under 100 bucks.
