   These wheel bearing/hubs are throw aways. There was no provision in   
   them for repacking the bearing or replacing it. So if you checked   
   around the repair shops you could probably get them for free. A lot of   
   times they make noises while driving but would be suitable for what Bob   
   wants to do. Mount one to the floor and another overhead to ceiling.   
   Put flanges on a pipe, channel... that matches bolt pattern on the hub.   
   Or find a tire rim that fits them if that would work better in some way.   
      
   A lot of my old sources for stuff have disappeared too. I think part of   
   it is liability worries and businesses being regulated/taxed beyond   
   reason nowadays🤷

   Many possibilities. I've found that if I acquire materials for one design   
   they may be useful for several others as well. Quick estimates when I   
   stumble onto something interesting are usually good enough, as long as I   
   know the requirements like the expected load.   
      
   Unfortunately the sawmill and gantry hoist were designed for logs up to 2'   
   across at the base and 2000 Lbs. I didn't expect the bigger trees to ever   
   come down...
