I just got finished doing what I can now consider the worst repair/restore job that I can remember; changing all the bearings on a Fox 3 row narrow corn head. No room to maneuver for getting at the island drive sprockets and bearings. Corn husks/weeds wrapped around every darn bearing/shaft, to a diameter of about 4" on a 1 1/4" shaft, old grease packed/coating everything, everywhere, to a minimum depth of .125, lovely mushroomed ends of shafts, that the bearing are supposed to slide off of, so which needed to be filed back down to size, to remove the bearing, which 1 bearing needs to come off before you can slide the shaft and the other bearing out of the cornhead, and of course, some strategically bent sheet metal, that had to be removed/repaired to get at the bearings.
