Hey Guys,it is me being paranoid again.
I was wondering about the condition of my rear axle bearings? As far as I know,they have never been changed? They are NOT making any noise,there is NO grease leaking from around bearing retainers,but I hear of DISASTEROUS results to the bull gears in the rearends that can happen sometimes if these let go.
The last time I changed the rear end grease ,(ALL 13 gallons of it !! : ) It looked fairly clean,(I ALWAYS check all fluids as they come out as to tell the story of what is going on internally!!!)
I just know how old my 1953 Super M is.I am sure those axles have made MANY revolutions since it was brand new!Since there is NO odometer on these things,I get concerned.
When I bought it back in 2000,It looked as to be only about 10 years old,WELL taken care of.I just wonder if/when something EXPENSIVE could happen in the final drive ???
