Well, I'mm getting most of this thing fixed, but I have another little problem.
I was putting in the rear axle seals, figuring the hardest part would be taking off the wheel clamps, and I wasn't disappointed. But having those off and one side done, I have found a loose bearing on the other side. It's on the furrow side and I know the seal has been leaking for some time, so the bearing must have been lose for some time.
It did surprise me to find it was a ball bearing, though.
Questions are:
1. How far can these go with play in them and what would you measure to decide when they have to be changed?
2. Since my first thought was to change it, my second thought was how to get that thing out without going into the bull gear setup. I don't like to use a cutting torch on everything, but is that a solution to taking the bearing out of the axle casing and off the shaft?
