Looking for an alternative thrust bearing for my Mini Max 16 bandsaw. Has anyone found an alternative?

Mike are you familiar with how the thrust bearing looks on a MM? It doesnt look like a regular bearing and it may not be a bearing at all. I dont know.

I'm not familiar with the one in your saw either, but looks like there are a number of options available. As suggested, measure and compare:
