Ransomes Ajax mk5 cylinder bearing felt washers
Hi all,
I am a new club member and am renovating an Ajax Mk5. I have stripped it down and replaced the cylinder bearings.
I need to source the two felt washers in that go in the bearing case.
I have searched on the forums and online but can't source any?
Is there a club member who can help?
Thanks in advance

All clean and ready for assembly and you’ve got the correct oil gun, Ransomes have always recommended oiling, not greasing . Something that I always do is to soak the new felts in oil before assembly so that they are completely saturated. Gives them a good start and prevents any pick up on the shaft .
