yes to answer a question mine is a 36 inch thrower. i know when i re did mine i went with many links from here for parts and such. the roller chain was easiest to get from tractor supply but it comes in a like 10 foot box so you can buy that and have spare or buy pre cut from a supplier. the bearings and holders are not greasable and can be found on e-pay but after i got mine i swear tractor supply has some that look like they would work and for half the price.
the universal for the adjustment arm go to McMaster Carr, you just drill and pin the rod and every comes apart and goes together for storage.
now for the hardware i went stainless because it would be wet and possible exposure to salt and a rusting bolt makes the best paint look like crap

the guard for the drive shaft was rusted on thin i wanted to replace it and i just so happened to have a bent piece of 3/16 stainless here but i buffed and wire brushed it and it left to many impurities so right now it is the only rusty thing on it, i just need to pull it and coat it in acid to draw out the impurities

if it were mine and i were to do it all over againthe only thing i would do different would be checking for the bearing at TSC, stainless bolts and shake proff nuts and washers added like 40-50 bucks but well worth it, oh and do not skimp on the paint. i want with decent auto paint so it would hold up and i only needed it like 5 times last year but it still held up well.http://www.mcmaster.com/#
