Sell it and buy something else. Thats what we did with the one we owned.

Find a friend that can get you some wholesale from Applied Industrial Technologies
The markup is horrendous
*** usually top quality

Don't leave winged up, ever

[Robertbarlage]

we actually like the drill but we have packer wheel bearing problems on the wings from going through mud . so sick of water already its everywhere!

Farming101's idea looks good.

That is the company that bought out Bearing & Transmission I believe.

I refuse to put an off-shore bearing into anything! Fafnir, ***, NTN, Timken, or SKF. Even if its in a CNH, JD, or Agco box it goes straight back to their parts counter if it says "China" on it. It pisses me off that most of these garbage parts are sold right alongside OEM for nearly the same price. Case in point is a chinese A/C compressor for my pete. Price difference between calgary pete's knock off compressor price, which at the time was all they carried, and Regina's Sanden was $35! Chinese one lasted less than 12 months and the front end seized up, blowing the main fan belt over Monida pass. Luckily i had an old one to swap out after cutting off the AC belt. New Sanden is two years and counting.

Chinese CNH bearings put into a victory pickup header didnt even last 1 season. Special ordered Fafnir's for something like 15-20% more and its still going 8 years later.
