Thinking about changing wheel bearings on our J.D.(Van Brant)cultivator which is now a needle bearing system on the wheels.Both sides are shot and I don't want to re-do them with needle bearings again.I would think that ball bearings would be a much better system.Has any one on this forum made such a change and what problems did you have in making a switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated in part numbers, and would an automotive bearings with race be better? Might be that I would have to cut away the old axles and re-weld newer ones on.Your suggestions would be most helpful.
