Flywheel bushing NH68

Has anyone ever replaced the flywheel bushing in the center of a New Holland 68 baler? I did a web search but can't find anything on it. I also can't find anyone that stocks such a critter. My local dealer thinks it might be brass, but I don't know. I'm assuming it will take a good press and freezing to install? I've got quite a bit of wobble in mine and it needs doing.
 
I have not changed one on a 68. Have changed them on other balers, NH 282 for example. It has a thin bushing that you almost need to roll out, but new bushing went in pretty good. Not cheap though, as I remember a few years back was around $100. The shear pin sleeves are different.
 

Oops in my earlier post my mind was homed in on shear pin bushing. :oops:

Messicks shows 2 flywheel bushings in stock. PN 80152422 @ $74.57. Most bushings aren't difficult to replace.
 

Thanks guys! Jim, I don't know how you found that bushing. I can't anything for the 68 baler to come up at all on Messicks site. But at least now I can order one.
 

Bushing I located is key 5.1.

Between doing the flywheel bushing and sheer bushings on our Massey #12, it drastically reduced the number of shear bolts it was breaking. Amazing how much time that used to comsume while baling. Used to take a good 1 1/2 hours to load a wagon. Now we can do a load in 45 minutes, and maybe break 1 bolt a day, if that often. Usually on a slug.

Mine was wore quite bad so I scored it with a hack saw blade . Sharp screw driver got
behind it and it folded up . As I recall new one wasn't too thick.
 
I changed one years ago on a NH 65. It was popping shear bolts and wobbling on the corners. Not hard to do. I did like mtny said and sliced the old bushing with a hacksaw blade and pried it out with a screwdriver. The new one just tapped into place with a hammer and a block do wood. Worst part was manhandling the flywheel. I don't recall the price but it probably wasn't expensive given my financial status at the time (and now)..... haha. Good luck

Huh I just tried searching for "68 baler", "S68", "S68 baler" and "68 Hayliner" and got no results for any of them. I can find stuff on the New Holland site, so I suppose searching by part number at Mesicks is the answer.
 

Okay, apparently you have to search using "s68" and not "S68"! I think they need to tweek the search criteria a bit....
 
I changed one on our 311 a few years back.
Like others said, the hardest part was
getting the old one out. Was mangled before
it was done. That one was brass. I took the
flywheel off by myself. Was heavier than I
thought, made sure I had help putting it
back on.
 
FWIW - you can go to New Holland's parts website and download printable PDF copies of their parts list. I use it all the time - if for nothing
else, dissembly and reassembly views.

Below is a YouTube video of a guy changing the flywheel bushing.

I've got a flywheel bushing somewhere to put on my 68 - it's on the round2it list. I want to say the bushing is split on one wall down the length,
so installation shouldn't be difficult. IMHO the challenge is to get the driveline removed without shearing a bolt or two and then managing the
weight of the flywheel.

Hope is helps.

It's probably the difference in browsers or something. I use Firefox for instance. But thanks for the help!

Thanks Bill, I have NH's site bookmarked, but it didn't occur to me try running part numbers. Lesson learned!
