heres the link.
Two Bolt Flange Bearings Roller Chain V-Belts

Bearing is an SA 205-16 ( or 205-100 ) one inch bore self-aligning unit. Be sure to specify metal shields and a grease hole. Holder is a standard two-bolt flange FL 205.

The corrosion-resistant bearing part number is SealMaster SFT-16TC CR

also, I forgot. I had ordered a new nut pin and bearing from solid steel for $35. so give them a call. that was 4 years ago so I am sure it is more exspensive
