ok i noticed the push rod has a ball seperating the other rod, idk if i still have it but could i just use a BB to replace it! lmao it sound funny as hell. im country and to me they look to be same size. or should i just pay 7 bucks in shipping to get one.. idk what to do.
 
Not sure if a bb will work. Take some digital calipers and see what the bb measures. You want a 3/16 ball. Should be able to find one at any good local hardware store.
 
Have read of "BB" being used, however they are not hardened. Good short term fix. X-2 on checking hardware, especially if they have bicycle parts.
 
You cannot use "bb's" (like out of a bb gun) because it's not hardened, it'll mush out in short order.

My local Ace Hardware has a tray of hardened ball bearings. The size you need is 3/16", they're $.25 in the little tray....
