I noticed the other day when doing some maintenace that the flywheel would move forwards and backwards 2-3mm or so as in front to back of machine.

 

What type of bearings are they? Sure the guy on the phone said they were floating bearings? But surely they cant other wise it would do what its doing? :confused1:

 

Anyone ever changed their own?

 

Wonder how heavy that flywheel is lol

 

Cheers

If you think that they are worn and the "slop" is too excessive, contact one of the new Jensen dealers and they should be able to help with technical advice and spare parts.

All i can say is the bearing to shaft screw are tight, the bearing cases dont move, i can lever the flywheel forwards then backwards, seems like the bearing hopper side is to blame, you can hear it knock when moving forwards and back

Hi Chris, all I can say is that's not good, get it fixed before there's a big failure.

As I said before most Ag engineers are au fait with this set up.

 

Yup, noticed it when fitting new blades and anvils thinking wow not much blade to anvil clearance better check flywheel ok! Ut oh :( lol

The bearing closest to the feed roller has an usual machined block not cast, to do with the spacing more than anything else I think, I have tried to out source but no joy, Vincent at Redwood still carry's Jensen parts I expect he'll have these on the shelf. He's very helpful.
