I saw that. I wonder if those are the same sized Torlon bearings used in our travelers?[/quote]
No,they are not. I don’t have the Harken spec sheet on this computer...they put out a sheet years ago with cleaning, lube instructions & part#s.
Interestingly, with regards to lubrication, Harken stated to use one drop of something like Mclube, but if that wasn’t available, any light machine oil, like 3-in-1 would suffice. My $1.50 bottle of 3-in-1 has lasted for many years, neither I nor my kids, or grandkids will use it all.
I find the Harken website to be not user friendly, a lot of technical info one really has to dig for.
If you search Harken Catolog, you get a bunch of 270 page documents, non of which seem to be on the Harken website. They list working/ breaking loads. Here’s an older one,

The swivel balls are xx/32” IIRC, & the traveller balls are bigger, maybe 1/4”.
I made that album after having a swivel bind up, (white bearings were all rough due to sand).<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Feb 09, 2021 - 11:16 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
