Yes it should. Not sure about machineability.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

I got a bearing for my Butler 275 dollars wow! I'm going to make a sleeve for the tower cap to keep the bearing and mast pipe centered. I'm also going to make a thin sleeve for the outside of the bearing to try and keep the dust out. I'm just wondering what type of grease would stay in there and not melt out in the hot sun and not freeze up in the brutal cold?
