Check your bearings .

How well did that bearing sit in the boss?

How many hours has your 125 done on that bearing?

 

Not sure but Ive owned her for over 6 years and its the first bearing change we,ve done . I would say she gets used 3 / 4 days a week as we dont chip everything . We burn a fair bit in the skips at the yard .

 

 

Greg Nice one . Thanks for the offer but my bearing man in stoke is open tomorrow and he reckons he will have all the bearings in stock . You,ll have to send me a PM and we can meet up sometime and have a chat

The bearing sat really well in there . Thanks for the dust cap offer . Think I will silicone seal the area when finished . I think its only lasted this long as I change and sharpen the blades quite often . Hopefully it will be up and running in 2 days

All them did think about just doing the two on the end . But as Ive got a week left of the holidays off I might as well do the job lot

well make sure u get the right bearings, i am sure they have to be high speed bearings, check with orange plant or ur local timberwolf dealer.

Im not so sure if you should silicone that in as the nut needs to turn and will strip out the silicone

I was told by both TW and OP that it really is neccacery to have the cover in place aparently it protects the bearings some how baybe just stopping dust and crap getting in there.
