Fings wot broke

[htb]

Bit of grease on the inner race, jobs a good 'un.

Aye cos the outer bearing is a plain bearing, it will befine

Bought about 4 years ago but had new bearings last year

 

Think I am going to look at the new braked trailer with higher load capacity to mount it on. The wheels and trailer are only rated for 750kg and this weighs almost all of that.

 

The newer ones are braked hubs & I think 900kg.

 

I bet either cheap bearings or whoever did it dint grease them up properly.

I fitted them and did grease them up thoroughly. The original ones disintegrated but I spotted those in time. How often/miles should you have to grease and maintain this sort of bearing? I check for play regally and all felt OK last week.

[Justme]

I check for play (wheel off ground) weekly.

 

I might re grease 6 monthly.

 

Doing about 600m per week.

 

Sounds like iffy bearings. or just unlucky.

 

What are the others like?

[Woodworks]

These have probably only done 1500 miles max. Will be checking the others when I can. Bearings came from a reputable place that supplies most of the local garages. The original bearing didn't last long either and only spotted the problem when a shield came astray and was loose on the axel. Think our rough potholed lanes don't help matters.

...so while jacked up for replacing the bottom feed roller I figured I'd jet wash the underside..... never underestimate the value of good dirt to keep holes blocked.

The cypress/silicone tape plug helped get the day finished...

Well done on getting the job done. A majestic bodge!

 

What caused a hole in the sump like that?

It looks well rusted and wouldn't take much to puncture it. I bet you could poke your finger through it in places.

Looks like the in line filter could use a change as well.

One thing at a time! Saving that for next week......
