Nebraska Cowman said: (quoted from post at 08:10:03 12/29/08) The bearings are gonna be pricey if you can find them. Unless there is preceptible play I wouldn't worry about them. The guides should stand boiling but there is always crud behind them. I'd remove them. They aren't hard to knock out. Use a drift the same size as the guide and a heavy hammer. More stuff is ruined by too light a hammer than any other way.
You're right the guides come easy enough I could just as well take them out. I like my 1lb hammer; no doubt too small a hammer makes you get wild and break stuff, but for me, too big messes up my swing too and I get off center whacks.
If the tractor had been previously running, I wouldn't have even pulled the crank for the amount of play it has (at least noting it's expected use), but 30 years of mouse pee dribbling down the sleeves put a little extra humidity in there giving some surface rust on the bearings as well as the play, even without that though, since it had to come this far apart I hate to be penny wise and pound foolish now.
That does remind me of yet another oddity, just to share - not concerned - the cam gear had the oddest wear pattern; pretty tight yet, but wore like it had previously been ran against a gear of half the width.
