I'm in the process of rebuilding a hay rack I threw together last year. I couldn't get it to spread out any, so I'm still stuck with a 8x12 bed, better than nothing I guess. i was pulling the gear into town so I could actually get around to working on it, I was about 1/2 mi. from home when I started noticing a strange sound coming from the running gear. I got around to looking at it tonite, my thought was correct bearings were gone in the front right hub. When i say they were gone, I mean it didn't look they they've seen fresh grease for 15+ years. I wish I had a camera to everyone these nasty bearings. The bearings fell out when i pulled the hub off. It took me 1/2 an hour and half a can of pather pi** to get the inner bearing race off the spindle, it was allmost rusted on. I suppose I should go thru all the bearings before I put the bed on the rack. Fortunately, the brearings I took off were Tickem (sp) so i can get new ones pretty easy.

I'm not supprised about the 15 years. I'm just surprised you hadn't already pulled the wheels, repacked and adjusted the bearings on all the wheels. Remember there are some people that own neither grease or a grease gun..... ...Good luck

I usto say $o.50 worht of grease will save you $500 repair but now days its $1 worth of grease will save you $1000 worth of repairs. When I pull any thing I stop at the end of my drive way, 1 mile long. I feel each bearing cap to see if its hot. If it is then I stop and pop the cap off and grease the ____ out of it before I go one foot more.
