Before anybody starts buying bearings on a price point, I'll tell you what happened to me a decade ago. I was the mechanic in charge for a company that had about 30 forklifts, all makes and sizes. When it came time to replace the bearings on the rack, that was also my job. These lifts got used hard, some of them 16+ hours a day and the conditions were really dusty and dirty. On some of the 10,000 lb models, the rack bearings didn't last a full year. And if you've ever replaced these on a large lift, you'll know that it takes some time and effort. I always believed in buying and using the best parts available, although that might not necessarily be OEM. So the guy in charge of purchasing found a cheap source for these rack bearings. I noticed that they were made in China, but I bit my tongue and didn't say anything, at least for awhile. We suddenly were replacing these at a much faster rate. After closely inspecting them, the old bearings that had 8 rollers in them only had 7 in the Chinese bearings. And the old bearings that used to have 6 rollers only had 5 with the Chinese bearings. I showed the old and the new bearings to the purchaser and he didn't say a word. I did notice that he started buying bearings again that had familiar names on the box that they came in.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
