We didn't exactly "purchase them" they are kinda homemade but it doesn't take any efforts at all to pop out 50+ in about a few hours.

For the 3/8ths bearings, we bought these supplies from mcmaster carr:

-1/2 bore bearings (6383K234)
-1/2 OD - 3/8 ID Bushing (6338K414)
-One 3/8th Hex broach (2875A19)

All we did is place the bushing over the bearing. Then we broached and pressed the bushing in at the same time. They all worked great, We made about 100+ bearings this season. It makes life 10x easier not to have to lathe down the ends, we do have access to one, but we found it easier to interface everything with hex.
