Merc steel roller reed cage for popper wanted.

[valdjr]

I am looking for a steel reed cage (needle Bearing type) for a 20 cube popper. This is for a runner. Thanks in advance.

Why steel and not brass? Wasn't aware that 20H cages were made of steel, just brass.

Not a 20H Part

The steel cages were made for the Mark 25 which used a similar crank shaft. Some folks like the steel cage which can be made to the same dimensions as the 20H brass one. There are a couple of different brass cages also used on the 20H, one of the better ones was made by Quincy.

Interesting, I guess Mr. K used whatever was available to get the engines out the door. I heard the Mk 25 steel cages used no insert steel races for the rollers they ran directly on the steel cage inner bore surface, must have been hardened.

I have one. Still on the crank, both good. :

If you want to unload both, let me know. The steel, needle combination was the first generation Mark 25 crankshaft in 1955 only. Anyone who needs 29-24900 bearings for this style setup, I have extras. valdsr@aol.com
