MTD - Yard Machine Front Rim Bearing

[TiIngot]

I have been pretty successful keeping this 1998 Yard Machine in service. Model number is 13AM675G062 or just 675. It drives like a drunken sailor because the plastic bearings in the front wheels are worn out. I have the original parts manual from 1997 that shows the inner and outer bearing as item number 35 on page 20. However, on page 21 the reference number 35 does not list a part number for the bearings.

I bought some on Amazon that looked close, but they are not correct and basically wore out in one season. I do not want to invest in an entire rim wheel assembly. Does anyone know of a plastic bearing that will fit this rim/axle dimensions?

StarTech, thank you. Other than the extensive knowledge you have accumulated over the years, how did you find the part number? When I go to web sites, the only information they have is the same parts picture as I have and list no part number for the bearings.
