Actually 19k for a 9 incher is pretty cheap....you can pay more for a 6" machine if you go schleisling...I think that says alot.

 

Thinking about it 19k is a lot really . All your buying is metal hydraulics and an engine . Then after the spend it can only do one job chipping .

How much is the bearing? how much is it to get it done for you? and could i do it in my workshop?

Dean what kind of price are the bearings and roughly how many man hours did it take?

do you think a greaseable bearing could be fabricated?

 

Cheers

I cant remember how much the bearing wear but they were sourced direct from a bearing company which works out half the price of dealer sourced bearings.

 

Man hours....you could do it in a day and spend time making sure everything is clean and spot on, if you have all the tackle available, if you dont have huge bearing pullers etc your going to struggle and also a knowledge of how to press bearings into place properly.

 

Many bearings are damaged from new by being pressed into place wrongly or not being shimmed properly to ensure no constant side loading

yeah i got quite a bit of kit, i know bearings with my Landrover and my dads hymacs

 

cheers
