Why do things break at the wrong time?

One of the fan blades on my 150 VTR went today, I have stripped it down and got the parts ordered, new bearings also as she has done 560 hours now, I have done this before and it ain't to bad a job but WHY do these things happen when you need the chipper or are slow and trying to save money?? Typical really oh well, rant over.:)

Look at the positive hodge. The parts are cheap and it's an easy fix. No ones hurt. I'll send you a pic of where I put some grease nipples whilst mine was being done.

 

That sounds a good idea mate. They should have them on from new really IMO.

problem with having grease nipples on bearings is u'll either get the user who doesn't grease or the one who over greases them. Both methods causing them to fail prematurely, often the bearing is undersized IMO and a slightly bigger ungreased bearing would never fail, but that'd up production costs and reduce parts sales (though not sure many would buy bearings from manufacturer?)
