Powermatic may have used a different bearing than the original Logan would have. My understanding is that they bought the name and inventory, and then cheapened production with some parts, more so over time, although many of the basic machine components were still original quality. I have a powermatic Burke mill rite, which is kinda the same situation.
That said, Logan offers support and some parts even for the powermatic models. I'd check there first, get the bearing spec'd and priced, then decide. Most logans have a pre-load on the front bearings, as I understand it, that makes substitutions difficult. Powermatic versions might be different.
