I have looked around quickly and have not found this bearing. Where can I find this bearing and also how did it come out. the manual says you have to put a drop of CA on the outer ring. This machine was purchased used so I'm not sure if the previous owner did this.
Is that all that holds this bearing in or am i missing more parts?

Use google to search for the part number, bearing sizes are standardised and Thunder Tiger uses these off the shelf parts.

As shin said,

if you go to the parts menue in the Raptor Manaul, it will give the dimensions of the bearing, the bearing in your photo is called FLANGED BEARING,

Bocca bearings in the USA do all the bearings for a raptor, they even give you the raptor part number and then their own equivlent.

In the old days when we used to a bearing upgrade rather than use the TT ones i used to go to Bocca use theirs, they last for years..

On the pitch arm you have highlighted, all they do is press in, it should be a tight fit, oviously in your case it has probable been knocked in transit and fell out or some vibration has caused it to pop out...

i will have look for you, and send you a link if you have not already found it..

Hope this helps
