    Bearings or Shred?

    I am not sure if it is stainless but there is some rust on one of the bearing's wheels, but it is reflective with a blue hue.

    All of the metal is ferrous.

    Do yards buy bearings specifically or are they just shred?

    Are all bearings just shred or just these?

    I would say most are but bigger ones could go as #1 HMS...also check with a magnet to see if it stick or not.

    A lot of bearing material is porous brass but you can tell it by the color.
