The later life-time carrier roller shafts do not fit the original stands without modification. Height of assembly is not a problem. Can also go to the later style clamp type stands.
what is the height of the updated new side stand? how does it compare to the old stand height?
Shim stand. I used to modify my top roller stands for life time rollers and then put two 1" flat pieces under them to get the rise I wanted. That helps to keep them turning when the track frame becomes full of mud etc..
Clean tracks at end of the day every day and ESPECIALLY in freezing weather.
The updated stand is approximately 3/4" shorter than the original stand.

What modifications do you have to do to the stand to put the life time roller on it?
