I am currently working on a 47 M and looking at the inner/outer rear axle and bull pinion (brake) shaft bearings. I am curious how some of the forum members make the judgment call about replacing or reusing these bearings.
For example, I removed the entire wheel from the RH rear axle, placed a dial indicator on the axle next to the outer grease fitting, then raised and lowered the rear axle by hand............saw about 010" of movement, I assume due to original bearing radial clearance+wear in the outer bearing. Is this enough play to consider replacing this bearing? And will this amount of play prevent the new outer axle oil seal I am planning to install from actually sealing? Some of these bearings are expensive, at least through CaseIH.
I have the transmission cover off now so I can easily access all of these bearings. Tractor will be lightly used in the future, only rarely seeing full tractive load.
Thanks in advance for any pointers which may be provided.
