Hello there!

The 39-044 and 39-045 Getty operators come to mind. I don't know if the bearing at the end of the arm is the same as ours though. I recommend you review the specifications below to see if they match up with your old assembly.

Thanks Emily,
Can you give me the dimensions for the bearing at the end of the arm? Thanks again, Sully

Certainly. The diameter of the bearing is 5/8". I hope this helps.

Hey Emily,
Thanks for the follow up. Mine are only 1/2" and positioned on the opposite side of the arm. Are there any other options available?

I'm afraid we couldn't locate an operator with a 1/2" bearing like the one you are looking for. However, the 39-520 surface mounted track may be an option if you could install this one on the window. Also, take look at the 39-504 track to see if this could work. Review the specifications along with the related videos and see what you think.

If you don't think they can work for this application, you could try seeing if you can contact a machine shop to switch the bearings around to the bottom side of the operator's arms.

Thanks, I'll need (12) 6 Right hand and 6 Left hand. I think I can save my old bearings.
